Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes until they soften. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrots and zucchini, slicing the red bell pepper and mushrooms, and chopping the green onions.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce (or tamari), coconut aminos (if using), brown sugar or maple syrup, and white pepper. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the softened glass noodles to the skillet and drizzle with the prepared sauce. Toss everything together to evenly coat the noodles and vegetables.
Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce and the vegetables to cook through.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the noodles and give everything one final toss. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the dish for added flavor and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve the stir-fried glass noodles hot and enjoy!
