For one person

Ingredients
3 x garlic cloves
big handful of frozen prawns
2 x handful of vegetables (use any of these: okra, broccoli, mangetouts, peas, beansprouts, green peppers, baby sweet corn)
dessert spoon of fennel seeds
dessert spoon of chinese five spice
microwave rice
oil (rapeseed or vegetable)
dark soy sauce
fresh herb like corriander (optional)

Utensils
chopping board
sharp knife
wok

Method
1. Crush and finely chop garlic.
2. Chop vegetables to different sizes so you get a variety of textures. Use no more than 3 types of vegetable.
3. Cover the bottom of the wok with a layer of oil. Add garlic, chinese five space, fennel seeds and prawns. Now turn up hob to the highest heat.
4. When prawns start to sizzle cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring through.
5. Cover prawns with vegetables in a layer. Do not stir. Leave to steam for 2 minutes.
6. Stir thoroughly.
7. Cover prawns and vegetables with a handful of rice. The beauty of microwave rice is that it is already cooked, you are just heating it up and can use just a handful. DO NOT stir in, leave it to steam across the top of the vegetables and prawns for 2 minutes.
8. Add a generous glug of soy sauce.
9. Stir through.
10. Add fresh chopped corriander if you like.
11. Serve up stir fry.
12. Immediately (before eating) wash the wok and put back on the turned off hob to dry off.
