Method

Heat the two oils in a heavy-bottomed frying pan or wok, add the onion and stir until lightly brown, then add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further minute.
Add the rest of the vegetables to the pan, stirring all the time, and cook for 3–4 minutes. Then add the allspice, sugar and soy sauce.
Prepare the noodles according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and add to the wok, coating with the sauce.
Stir in the prawns, heat through, then serve on a warmed plate and eat immediately.

Stir-fries make quick, easy and versatile meals. You can use thinly sliced lean meat, fish or tofu or, alternatively, increase the amount and variety of vegetables and go for a veggie option for a change.
