Soak the rice noodles in hot water according to the package instructions until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the baby spinach and spring onions to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, coconut sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet, then pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables.
Toss everything together gently, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the finished dish for extra flavor.
Optionally, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve lime wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
