Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Cut the carrot into 1/2cm discs (peel optional). Place on a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil, the sesame seeds, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 15-20 mins, until soft and golden.
  2. Finely chop or grate the ginger. In a bowl, combine the ginger, honey, tamari and cornflour. Add the prawns and mix to marinate. Peel, destone and cut the persimmon into 1cm cubes. Cut the tat soi into 3cm lengths. Finely slice the garlic.
  3. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water.
  4. Heat a medium frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the cashews and garlic, toast for 1 min, then add the tat soi, prawns and marinade. Cook for 2-3 mins, until the marinade begins to stick to the pan.
  5. Add the persimmon and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person) to the pan. Simmer for 1-2 mins, until the sauce coats the prawns. Add the cooked noodles and toss to combine. Add a splash of water to get a glossy sauce, if necessary. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Serve the noodles topped with the sesame roasted carrots.
