Place the dried glass noodles in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water, place a plate over the bowl, and soak for 10 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the prawns with the soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and lime juice. Marinate for 15–20 minutes.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the marinated prawns for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from the heat and set aside.

To make the dressing, pound the garlic, red chilli and palm sugar together in a pestle and mortar until a smooth paste forms.

Add the fish sauce and lime juice to the paste and stir until well combined.

In a large bowl, combine the soaked glass noodles, tomato, red onion, spring onion, coriander and cooked prawns.

Pour over the dressing and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Garnish with the crushed peanuts and serve immediately.
