Chop all other ingredients finely
Add onion and ham to wok or frying pan on medium heat, brown for 2 mins and then place in a bowl on the side
Place zucchini, capsicum and corn and peas into wok and cook for 1-2 mins
Add the blitzed cauliflower to the wok and stir through

Their website says it all, they limit to 100 serves per day to ensure the best handmade fried chicken at all times. How good is that! So we know this is outstanding food for adults and perhaps the best fried chicken in town (find us better....honestly we can't wait to go back), but how did the kids like it?
