Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.

Add water and cook the vegetables (cabbage, carrot, bell peppers, green beans) for 4-5 minutes.

Remove the cooked chicken and vegetables from the wok and set aside.

In the same wok, boil the remaining broth, adding more water if needed.

Add the rice noodles and cabbage, cooking until tender and most of the water is absorbed.

Return the cooked vegetables and chicken to the wok, stirring occasionally to combine everything well.

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with lemon.
