Start by soaking rice noodles in hot water for 2 minutes, then drain the water off.

Prepare the vegetables: slice green onions on a slant, chop the ends off the bok choy, and cut it into smaller pieces if desired.

Whack the garlic clove to release the skin, then chop it into small pieces.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan until shimmering, then add the chopped garlic and cook until golden brown.

Add shredded cabbage to the pan and cook for a few minutes until it begins to soften.

Stir in the shredded carrots and cook for an additional minute or so.

In a bowl, mix together the sauce: add a little sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.

Pour in 3/4 cup of beef broth and stir in 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.

Add the cleaned shrimp to the pan with the vegetables and cook until they turn pink and opaque.

Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, stirring to combine everything well.
