Prawn and Salmon Stir Fry With Lemon Grass and Mint

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"I have really been enjoying stir fry's lately, they really are great and are so easy to do without a lot of fuss. You can have a fantastic tasting meal on the table in about 30 Min's that is not only healthy but tastes wonderful and because your not slaving over the stove for hours, you get to sit down and enjoy your meal. This is one I made the other night as I fancied some fish. I have been cooking a lot of chicken lately, as with all the food price hikes, it is just too expensive to eat all the variety I used to cook and I fancied a change. It was definitely worth it I really enjoyed this one as did my hubby."
