Another life-saver recipe from Jamie’s Food Revolution. It’s one of those days that you need something quick and hearty. The original recipe calls for Rice Stick/Vermicelli, I served this with a steamed rice.

COOKING METHOD:
1. Pick the cilantro leaves from the stalks and put to one side, then roughly chop the stalks
2. Preheat a wok or large frying pan on a high heat and once it’s very, very hot add a good lug of peanut oil and swirl it around
3. Stir in the cilantro stalks, ginger, garlic, chile, shrimp, and five-spice powder, and fry for a minute
Add the cornstarch, baby corn, and snow peas and give them a good toss or stir for another minute. Stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and frozen peas
