Let’s make it.

Soak or cook rice vermicelli following its packet, stopping while still slightly firm. Drain.
Heat oil and stir-fry garlic and mushrooms 3 minutes. Add carrot and cabbage and cook 3 minutes more.
Add stock and soy sauce, then noodles. Toss with tongs until noodles are tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
Season with white pepper and serve hot. Add a splash of water if noodles are still firm.
