Prawns with cashew nuts

I wanted to cook something light for lunch and I thought this was the perfect dish - prawns with cashew nuts from Heartymeals by Mrs Leong Yee Soo. Although I'm now a big fan of Mrs Leong, I don't care for her MSG ingredient. Those were the days when mothers would add MSG to every dish. I would never add MSG to something I cook. But I don't avoid it like I avoid coconut. MSG just makes me thirsty, it doesn't give me migraine like coconut.

I notice that Mrs Leong is also fond of using corn flour. I'm not so sure if I like corn flour - all sticky. I added snow peas and baby corn to the dish because I was late and didn't have time to cook the veg separately.


The snow peas were crunchy!

Verdict:
Everyone loves it.
Son hates any kind of nuts.

Postmortem:
Don't use corn flour next time.
Don't give son any of the nuts.
