Clean the prawns by removing the veins and washing them thoroughly to avoid salmonella.

Chop the carrots and spring onions finely.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt and some pepper over the prawns and mix well.

Boil water in a pot and add the noodles. Let them soften for 5 to 10 minutes.

Mix together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl.

Chop the garlic, chili, and carrots. Cut the peppers into quarters and then chop them.

Heat oil in a pan and add the peppers first, as they take longer to soften.

Add the chopped garlic and spring onions to the pan after the peppers have started to cook.

Add half of the chopped chilies to the pan, depending on desired spice level.

Check on the noodles and break them up to prevent sticking.
