Tender prawns are great in stir-fries, the cashew nuts give this dish an added crunch and the shiitake mushrooms are tender and full of flavour

What you need:

• 1 tbsp. cornflour
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• 225g tiger prawns, uncooked
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• spray oil for frying
• 25g unsalted cashew nuts

2. Spray some oil into a wok and place over a high heat, add the cashews and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until golden, then remove them to a plate.
3. Next add the mushrooms and stir fry for 1-2mins until golden.
4. Add the prawns and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes, until they turn pink. Add the remaining ingredients and stir fry for another minute.
