Ingredients
  

8 oz rice noodles

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cups mixed bell peppers (sliced)

1 cup snap peas

1 cup carrots (julienned)

3 green onions (sliced)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated)

¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro or basil (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and red pepper flakes. Set this mixture aside for later.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add the bell peppers and snap peas, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

        Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

          Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce mixture, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles and veggies are well-coated. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

            Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Serve the stir-fry in bowls, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or basil.
