Make the marinade for the trout: Combine the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, chilli, ginger, garlic and salt. Add the trout, stir well, cover and chill for 2 - 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
Cook the sugar-snap peas in a small pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain in a colander under cold running water to preserve their brilliant colour. Spread out on kitchen paper to dry.
Cut the cucumber lengthways into quarters and remove the seeds. Slice thinly in diagonal slices.
Combine the vinegar, sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Toss the sugar snap peas, cucumber and bean sprouts in this just before serving, so the vinegar doesn\'t discolour the vegetables.
Drain the marinade off the trout, adjust the seasoning if necessary and combine the trout in the mixing bowl with the coriander leaves and spring onions.
