I made this for my two boys (age 2 and 6) and they both enjoyed it. For veg I used sugar snap peas, baby corn and carrot peeled with a veg peeler. Shardwoods plum sauce seems impossible to get at the moment so I used some other brand (?Blue dragon) which doesn't look as nice. Next time I'll just use some jam and lemon juice I think. Husband and I found the dish a bit bland and added soy and tabasco: but the boys, even the picky one ate it all up!

I am a student, thus on a budget, and decided to make this recipe.

The prawns will last 4 servings, I always buy fruit and veg for the week (I used my own veg instead of the waitrose stirfry pack).

The meal was delicious. one of the best I've made in a while!

I like it spicy as well! Adding chilli infused oil instead of rapeseed gave it just enough kick without overpowering the dish.

5 stars!
