Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the Sweet Soy Sauce (1/4 cup) , Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp) , Oyster Sauce (1/2 Tbsp) , and Ground White Pepper (2 dashes) .

Step 2

Heat Cooking Oil (1/4 cup) in a wok over medium-low heat. Add the Shallots (2) , then increase the heat to medium.

Step 3

Remove the shallots from the wok using a spider skimmer or a soup skimmer when they are just about golden brown. Spread them out on a paper towel so that it can soak up the excess oil.

Step 4

Use a wok spatula to remove most of the oil from the wok, leaving behind about 2 tablespoons of the oil.

Step 5

Add Garlic (2 cloves) to the wok, followed by the Medium Shrimp (8) . Stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until the shrimp are halfway cooked.

Step 6

Add Green Cabbage (2 cups) . Stir-fry until slightly softened, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Add Egg Noodles (1.5 lb) . Give the sauce a stir, then pour the sauce over the noodles. Stir-fry the noodles to distribute the sauce evenly.

Step 8

Add Bean Sprouts (1 1/2 cups) to the wok. Stir to combine all the ingredients well, then transfer the noodles to a serving dish.

Step 9

Top with crispy shallots, Red Chili Peppers (to taste) , and Scallions (to taste) , with Limes (to taste) on the side.
