Method

  1. Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions, then drain and run under warm water to rinse off the starch. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large wok or frying pan and fry the onions with the oil over a high heat, tossing, until slightly browned and softened. Add the garlic and chillies, then fry, tossing, for 2 minutes.
  3. Mix the ketchup, soy sauce and fish sauce in a bowl. When the onions and garlic are golden, add the sauce mixture to the pan and let it bubble for a minute. Add the noodles with the crabmeat and toss together. Stir in the lime juice, then serve scattered with the spring onions and chopped coriander leaves.
