  4. Add another third of the canola oil and the mushrooms to the skillet; cook undisturbed 3 minutes, then stir and cook 2 minutes more until browned.
  5. Add the remaining third of the canola oil, the cabbage and the bell pepper; stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Push the vegetables aside, add the garlic, ginger and green onion whites to the open space and stir 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Stir the sauce again, pour it in with the drained rice noodles and toss 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
  8. Return the shrimp, toss to heat through, then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice and toasted sesame oil.
  9. Serve topped with the green onion greens.
