Cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey or agave syrup, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
If using cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp, add it to the skillet and stir to combine.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the empty side. Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes, mixing with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing everything together to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free stir-fried noodles!
