Heat up some oil under high heat. Layout all the shrimp  and let them fry untouched until they turn pink. Flip over the other side and continue frying until they turn pink and curl up. But remember not to overcook the shrimp. Take out and set aside.

Heat up some oil again. Stir-fry carrots with onion, garlic cook for about 5 minutes then throw in your snow peas, baby corn and cabbage cook for about 1 minute then add in all your seasoning and water...then add back in your noodles and  add  shrimp.  Mix well and dish up.
