    This may be best done in two batches. Set aside.
    Add the marinade to the frying pan with the verjuice, honey and chillies and bring to a gentle simmer.
    Dissolve the cornflour in a dash of water, stir into the sauce and cook until the sauce has thickened a little.
    For sharpness, squeeze in a little lime juice if wished.
    Add the bok choy and poach in the sauce until the leaves have wilted.
    Return the prawns to the sauce and serve over the cashew nut rice cakes garnished with the toasted cashews.
