Add the shrimp and cook for about 1 minute, then stir in the garlic, green onion, cilantro, and red pepper flakes.
Add the wine, the remaining 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar, and the soy sauce and bring just to a boil.

DRAIN THE WARM NOODLES, discarding the marinade, and divide them among 4 shallow bowls.
Arrange the shrimp on the noodles, spoon the sauce over them, and serve immediately.
