  4. Pour the mixture on to a floured surface with floured hands lightly shape into 4 rounds, each about 1 thick. (You can make ahead up to this point; cover and keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours.).
  5. Heat 2 T of the sunflower oil in a smallish frying pan and start frying the prawn cakes & cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning them over when they become golden.
  6. As soon as you have turned the prawn cakes, put the noodles into a pot of boiling water on a back burner; stir to separate and cook for 4 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 T sunflower oil in a wok (or another frying pan) and stir-fry the garlic, ginger, and reserved chilli for 1 minute.
  8. Put in the mangetout (snow peas) and reserved spring onions and stir-fry for 2 minutes more.
  9. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil and lime juice.
  10. Drain the noodles and toss them into the stir-fry.
