Hot, Sour And Prawn Stir-Fry

Fiery from the chili, sour from the tangy tamarind.  Naturally sweet from the delicious Pink Lady apples. This meal in minutes will excite your taste buds and soon get you coming back for more. Try and choose stir fry vegetables that have lots of different colours and flavours.  I would swap apple for carrot not a lover of cooked fruit, still very tasty and healthy, another low calorie food.
