In a medium sized bowl, whisk together hoisin, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, sriracha, ginger, garlic, and pepper. This is our sauce. Set aside.

Place cornstarch into a third medium sized bowl, then slowly whisk the chicken broth into the cornstarch until smooth.
Whisk the broth/cornstarch mixture into the remaining sauce. Set aside.  
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in large straight edged sauté pan over medium-high/high heat.
Add the shrimp (with juices) and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes or until cooked. Remove shrimp (and juices) from pan and set aside.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
Once hot, stir in carrots and sauté for 2 minutes.
Stir in remaining veggies: pepper, cabbage, mushrooms, broccoli, water chestnuts, and green onions.
Season with a touch of salt and pepper, and cook for 2-5 minutes, or until the veggies are cooked to your liking.
Stir in the sauce, and bring to a simmer for 30 seconds or until sauce starts to thicken.
Stir in the cooked shrimp and noodles.
