Bring a large pot of water to a boil, remove it from heat, and soak the rice noodles according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the julienned carrots, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but remain crisp.
Add the chopped bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the greens wilt slightly.
Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. If desired, add the sriracha or chili paste for a spicy kick. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 3 minutes.
Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the coconut milk sauce.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and divide the noodles into bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, aromatic dish!
