Cost per portion: £3.13

What you need:

  • 1 tbsp groundnut oil
  • 200g raw peeled king prawns
  • 2 spring onions, trimmed and sliced
  • 2 red chillies, trimmed and slice
  • 1 sachet of Uncle Ben's Oriental Sweet & Spicy Chilli Stir Fry Sauce
  • 250g Uncle Ben's Basmati Wok Rice

What you do:

  1. Heat the oil in the wok.
  2. Add the prawns, spring onion and red chillies and cook until the prawns are no longer translucent.

Nancy's handy tip:

This recipe works equally well with fresh squid. Simply replace the prawns with 300g of sliced squid.
