Using same wok, stir-fry onion and garlic, 1 min. Add paste, juice, sauce and chilli and stir-fry 1 min. Toss noodles through.
Push noodles to one side of wok. Crack eggs into wok, scrambling with a wooden spoon, until just cooked. Toss through noodle mixture.
Return prawns to wok with beansprouts, tossing well 1 to 2 mins. Serve sprinkled with nuts, chilli and extra green onion. Accompany with lemon wedges.
