    1 Spray a frying pan with oil and set over a high heat. Cook prawns, turning, for 2 minutes, until cooked through. Set aside.

    2 Return pan to heat and add half of the sesame oil. Add eggs and swirl around pan to make a thin omelette. When cooked, remove from pan and set aside. When cool, roughly slice.

    3 Prepare rice noodles according to packet instructions. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients.

    4 Return pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining sesame oil. Add spring onions, garlic, ginger, lemongrass and capsicum and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add noodles, carrot, tomatoes and chilli flakes and stir to combine. Remove from heat and add sauce, stirring. Add omelette and prawns back to pan. Toss.
