Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 5 mins until softened but still al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together the soy, oyster sauce and curry powder.

In a large wok, add half the oil and fry the garlic, chilli and ginger until golden, about 2 mins. Add the remaining oil, onion, pepper, spring onions, prawns and noodles and stir-fry for a few mins. Push everything to one side, add the egg and scramble. Add the soy sauce mixture, toss again for a few more mins, then remove from the heat.
Sprinkle over the coriander leaves before serving.
