Soak the yellow noodles in hot water for 30 seconds and the rice noodles in cold water for 20 minutes. When the shrimp turns pink and the squid edges begin to curl, add both noodles and toss over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the prawn stock and soy sauce and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the noodles look glossy. Add the sprouts for only 30 seconds and serve before the noodles clump.
