To prepare your stir-fry: Put a large pan of water on to boil. Peel and finely slice the ginger and garlic. Finely slice the chile. Pick the cilantro leaves from the stalks and put to one side, then roughly chop the stalks.

To cook your stir-fry: Preheat a wok or large frying pan on a high heat and once it's very, very hot add a good lug of peanut oil and swirl it around.
3. Stage
Stir in the cilantro stalks, ginger, garlic, chile, shrimp, and five-spice powder, and fry for a minute.
4. Stage
Add the cornstarch, baby corn, and snow peas and give them a good toss or stir for another minute.

Stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and frozen peas.
6. Stage
Add the rice sticks (or vermicelli) to the pan of boiling water and use a wooden spoon to break them up a bit. Cook for just 2 minutes, no longer. Drain the rice sticks (or vermicelli) in a colander over a bowl, reserving the cooking water.
7. Stage
Add a large spoonful or ladleful of the cooking water to the wok and cook for a further minute or two.
8. Stage
To serve your stir-fry: Use tongs to divide the rice sticks (or vermicelli) between your serving bowls, or to lift them on to one large serving platter. Spoon the shrimp, veggies, and any juices over the top and sprinkle with the beansprouts and cilantro leaves.
