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 carrots into 1/2cm discs. Place on a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil, the sesame seeds, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 15-20 mins, until soft and golden.
  2. Finely slice 3 garlic cloves. Finely chop or grate the ginger. Cut the persimmons into 1cm cubes. In a bowl, combine the ginger, honey, tamari and cornflour. Add the prawns and mix well to coat.
  3. Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-sized pieces. Bring a medium saucepan filled salted hot water to a boil. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork, and the pak choi and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water.
  4. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the cashews and garlic, toast for 1 min, then add the prawns and the marinade. Cook for 2-3 mins, until the marinade begins to stick to the pan. Add the persimmons and 100ml water and mix. Simmer for 2-3 mins, until it reduces to a thick sauce and coats the prawns.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the prawns 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.
