Instructions

  1. Cook the rice with the turmeric in 1 litre (1 ¾ pints) of simmering water, adding salt if desired, for about 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water in a sieve or colander and leave to drain.
  2. In a large bowl, place the spinach, pak choi, beansprouts, broad beans, sugarsnap peas or mangetout, peas, pepper, carrots, onion and cashews. Mix everything together carefully. (If you like, prepare this mix earlier in the day, then cover with clingfilm and refrigerate until required).
  3. Heat the cooking spray in a large wok placed over a high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass and coriander and stir-fry for 20 seconds. Add the vegetable mixture from the bowl (do not be alarmed, it will soon cook down!) turning constantly yet carefully for about 3 minutes. Next, add the soy sauce and cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the rice and cook for a further 3 minutes to reheat. Serve, sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Tip: Serve in a ring of salad, garnished with orange slices.
