Heat the rice bran oil in a large work or frypan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, while stirring, until chicken turns white. Add in all the vegetables and cook for 2-5 minutes, stirring to combine.

You can also add cooked vermicelli to serve, so you add a little noodles to the lettuce leaf first, then top with filling and peanuts.
