Instructions: In a separate pan of hot water soak the rice sticks until soft, then cut with scissors into lengths 4-6 inches long.

In a skillet, using medium heat, saute onions in the vegetable oil.

Add garlic. Add cabbage, carrots and celery and stir together.

Gradually add broth and soy sauce while cooking and stirring.

Add drained rice sticks to the vegetables, mix together and cook until heated through (about 1-2 minutes).

Serve and season to taste with additional soy sauce and sweet & sour sauce.
