Stir Fried - Cashew Nut Shrimp

 Do you know that it claimed that the Chinese method of stir frying is one of the healthiest ways in which we can cook food? This is because the food is cooked extremely quickly, at a very high temperature, preventing most of the natural nutrients being lost. All you need is a good wok and some fresh ingredients!

You will need some prawns, cashew nut (fried), friend chillies (fried-only add at last), onions (cubed), spring onions, ginger and garlic. For seasoning a little fish sauce, dark soya sauce(sweetened one preferred). I sometimes like to marinate my prawns in a little sesame oil, chinese wine and soya sauce before stir frying them. I believe it adds some flavour.

Heat the wok and fry the onions, garlic and ginger until fragrant. Now, add in the prawns, and let them turn pink. Add in the appropriate amount of seasoning. and once it taste good-throw in the dried chillies and cashews. Of course- the spring onions too!

That is all too it. Just make sure your wok is hot enough. Serve with plain rice, steaming hot...and you don't need anything else to complete the meal.
