Method

Place the noodles in boiling water and soak them according to the packet directions. Once done, drain them and rinse under cold water to cool completely, then drain thoroughly. Combine the cooled noodles with the carrot matchsticks, sliced spring onions, chopped herbs and the prawns.
Take a small bowl and whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, soft brown sugar, and the zest and juice from 1 lime. Pour this dressing over the noodle and prawn mixture, then toss everything together until evenly coated. Transfer to containers if you are not eating immediately.
