Calories

Calories are a measure of the amount of energy in food and drink. Your weight depends on the balance between how much energy you consume and how much energy you use up. If you eat or drink more than you use you can gain weight. If you don’t eat enough you can lose it.
Fat38.9g

Fat

Your body wouldn’t function without fat. Fat is an essential part of a healthy balanced diet. It provides fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. But as fat is a rich source of energy (calories), it can easily contribute to weight gain.
Saturates3.2g

Saturates

On average as a nation it seems we’re consuming too much saturated fat. Eating too much can increase your cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Carbs48.3g

Carbs

Starchy foods like bread, breakfast cereals or potatoes are a good source of carbohydrate and should make up just over a third of the food you eat. When eaten, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is used to fuel cells in your body like brain and muscle cells. Some people think starchy carbohydrates are fattening, but gram for gram it contains less than half the calories of fat. Choose whole grain or high fibre varieties where you can as they often contain more nutrients.
Sugars21g

Sugars

On average in the UK we eat too much sugar. Foods and drinks high in sugars are not needed in the diet. So if you have them, make sure they're infrequent and in small amounts, or you risk tooth decay or obesity.
Fibre9.3g

Fibre

Fibre is classed as a carbohydrate and you should aim to eat 30g fibre each day. Eating plenty of fibre is good for your digestive health and is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
Protein30.3g

Protein

All cells and tissues contain protein, so it’s essential for growth, repair and good health. Protein from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products contain all the essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) needed by the body. If you're vegetarian or vegan, you can get the protein you need through eating a variety of different plant sources such as pulses, nuts and cereals.
Salt0.7g

Salt

A small amount of salt is needed in your diet but too much can raise your blood pressure, which increases risk of health problems such as heart disease and stroke. Adults shouldn’t eat more than about 1 teaspoon (6g) per day – and that includes salt already in the foods you eat, not just the salt you add, so check nutrition labels on food packs.

Meanwhile, mix the prawns with 1 tsp of yuzu juice and set aside.
For the dressing, mix 1 tbsp (3 tsp) yuzu juice with 1 tbsp (3 tsp) rapeseed oil and the vinegar.
Heat 2 tsp rapeseed oil in a wok or small frying pan and fry the prawns on a high heat for 2 minutes until pink.

Spoon the quinoa mixture into a serving bowl, then top with the prawns. Serve straight away.

Cooking Tips

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit. If you’d like a substitute for this, use lemon, lime or mandarin juice or a combination of these in the same volume.
To reduce the fat content, half the amount of pine nuts/mixed seeds.
