This is an Australian-inspired stir fry for my wife, who loves cashew nuts. She was a bit dubious about having a dish without chillies (you can add sliced chilli if you like!) but the combination of two of her favourite foods, cashew nuts and prawns won her over.
Place a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the cashew nuts and toast until they begin to brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the oil to the pan and when hot use to stir-fry the spring onions, celery, carrots, baby corn for 3-4 minutes. Add in the mushrooms and cook until they become brown (about 5 minutes). Now mix in the garlic and prawns, stirring until the prawns turn pink (about 3 minutes).
Mix the cornflour to a slurry with the soy sauce and chicken stock. Pour the liquid over your ingredients and stir to combine. Add the savoy cabbage, mangetout (snow peas) and all but a few of the toasted cashew nuts. Stir-fry everything for a further 2 minutes.
Serve hot on a bed of freshly-cooked rice. Garnish with the reserved cashew nuts.
