Cook the soba noodles in a saucepan of boiling water for 3–4 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water, then set aside until needed.
Place a wok over high heat. Add the oil, spring onions, garlic, ginger and chillies. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often to avoid burning. Add the prawns and cook for 1 minute.
Add the snow peas and a small ladle of water. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Drain the noodles and add to the wok with the fish sauce and soy sauce. Stir for 3–4 minutes, or until heated through. Add the bean sprouts and serve immediately with the lime wedges.
