Prepare the sauce by combining the kecap manis, soy sauce, oyster sauce and white pepper.
Heat cooking oil in a wok over medium-low heat. Add the sliced shallots, then increase the heat to medium.
Remove the shallots from the wok using a spider skimmer or a soup skimmer when they are just about golden brown. Spread them out on a paper towel so that it can soak up the excess oil.
Use a wok spatula to remove most of the oil from the wok, leaving behind about 2 tablespoons of the oil.
Add garlic to the wok, followed by the shrimp. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until the shrimp are half-way cooked.
Add sliced cabbage. Stir-fry till slightly softened (about one minute).
Add noodles.
Give the sauce a stir, then pour the sauce over the noodles. Stir-fry the noodles to distribute the sauce evenly, then add fresh bean sprouts to the wok.
Stir to combine all the ingredients well, then transfer the noodles to a serving dish.
Top with crispy shallots, sliced red chili, and chopped scallions.
