In a large wok or skillet, add the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot enough in 1 to 2 minutes, stir fry the garlic, onions, ginger and scallions. Stir till fragrant and the onions are translucent in 1 to 2 minutes.

Push the clams and snow peas to the side of the skillet. Add the fresh noodles to the center of the skillet or wok. Mix everything till the liquid coats the noodles, clams and snow peas.
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with green parts of scallions.
Sprinkle with calamansi or lemon juice all over just before serving. Serve warm.
