Make the sauce: gather the sauce ingredients, use a mini whisk to combine and set aside.
Cook the shrimp (prawns): heat 2 tbs of peanut oil in large pan at high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 3-5 mins. They will be bright orange when they are done. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the vegetables: add cabbage,onions, green onions and carrots to pan. Stir fry for 2- 3 mins.
Cook the noodles: read and follow the instructions on the packet to cook the noodles. Drain and discard water.
Combine: add the cooked noodles to the stir fried vegetables, add the cooked shrimp and pour the sauce over the dish. Use chopsticks to combine and ensure sauce is consistenly mixed throughout.
To serve: portion into bowls and serve with chopsticks. Add pickled ginger, chopped green onions (green bits) for garnish (optional).

Note 1 - Shrimp: I am fresh prawns that I peeled and deveined. Whilst I feel that sometimes frozen prawns (shrimp) are more conveninet, I feel some brands can lack taste and texture, so whilst it is a little bit fiddly I would almost always prefer fresh over frozen.
Note 2 - Noodles: I am using Instant noodles (ramen noodles). I buy a large packet that has no seasoning or dried vegetables. This way I am not discarding anything from the packet. They are budget friendly and are usually in the Asian foods section of the supermarket. You might know them as 2 minute noodles.
