Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, red curry paste, lime juice, and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots and bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened.
Pour the peanut curry sauce into the skillet along with 1/2 cup of water. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing until the noodles are coated evenly in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced scallions and chopped cilantro.
Serve the curry peanut noodles hot, garnished with crushed peanuts if desired.
