Soak the glass noodles. Drain the water and cut the noodles in half with scissors. Thinly slice the carrots. Heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the carrot slices for about 3 minutes. Add a little water and fry gently for another 3 minutes (the carrots should still have some bite) until the water has almost evaporated. Reduce the heat. Slice the spring onion into approximately 1 cm strips. Halve the tomatoes. Mix all ingredients well in the wok. Season to taste with the lime juice, chili paste, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and fish sauce. For the original flavor, finely chop a sprig of cilantro and sprinkle over the salad.
