Method
Cut the chicken, ham and cabbage into pieces.
Blend the soaked chillies, shallots, garlic, ginger and candlenuts into a paste.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and fry the mustard seeds until they pop, then add the blended paste and fry until fragrant.
Add the chicken and turn to coat well in the paste, searing lightly.
Pour in the chicken stock and rice vinegar, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 25 minutes.
Add the ham, cocktail sausages and cabbage, and simmer for a further 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest piece of chicken; it must read at least 74 degrees Celsius before serving.
