Our char siu prawn, mango and rice lettuce cups are a fun and different way to eat a salad, as well as being perfect for sharing. Cooking the prawns in our char siu sauce means they are full of flavour and add little spice to the dish. The rice salad can be made in advance, meaning this dish and can quickly and easily assembled if time is of the essence.

NUTRITION NOTES - Sweet and sour, salty and spicy; this dish is sure to tantalize taste buds. If you want a low carb option, then just lose the rice, but whichever way, this dish is a great high fibre option. The tropical addition of vitamin C-laden mango is the perfectly perfumed accompaniment to the lightly spiced prawns. Prawns are not only a great source of lean protein, they also contain selenium, which is increasingly linked to maintaining normal immune function.

200g sugar snap peas, sliced lengthways
