Instructions
Cook the whole-grain noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cool water, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, toasted sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over them.
Toss the noodles with the vegetables and sauce, cooking for 2-3 minutes until everything is well coated and warmed through.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions and chopped peanuts or almonds if desired.
