Steps:

• Prepare noodles according to package directions. Some rice noodles you soak in cold water, others in hot water, others you boil briefly.

• Add carrots and cabbage and cook 2 more minutes. Add shiitakes and cook an additional minute.
• Add fish sauce and chicken broth. Simmer about 15 minutes, to let liquid reduce a bit.

• Add lime juice and white pepper to broth and check for seasoning. Be careful not to add too much white pepper, as it is pretty potent. Add noodles and scallions to broth and heat.
