Not the best way or the only way - just how I'd do it:

garlic
ginger
celery
salted peanuts
sesame seeds
carrots
scallions
broccoli
pea pods

add the cabbage but cook it for less than a minute, add the sprouts
last, after you turn the heat off.

Fry the chicken in the wok after you've dumped the vegetables in a
plate. Thicken the stock in the wok before the chicken is done so you
don't overcook it. Then add the vegetables back into the wok. This is
standard stir fry method. It's kinda boring cause, I've always done it
that way. That's the way it always is - cooking gets to be repetitive
after a while. That's the breaks.

If you have some canned salted peanuts laying around throw them in too.
Tasty!
