Step 1: Preparing the Noodles
- Bring 3 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the vermicelli noodles and cook for 3 minutes until just tender.

- Next, add the shrimp and 10 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for another 3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Step 4: Stir-Frying the Vegetables
- Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the wok. Add red cabbage, green onions, carrots, grape tomatoes, and sliced yellow onion.
- Stir-fry for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
