In a wok or large frying pan, heat oil on high. Stir-fry prawns 2 to 3 mins, until changed in colour and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

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.

Rice noodles need to be soaked in just-boiled water for 4 to 5 mins or until tender. Drain well and use straight away.
