Begin by soaking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves placing them in a bowl, covering with hot water, and leaving to soak for about 8-10 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are soaking, prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrot, slice the bell pepper, and cut the broccoli into small florets.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot and broccoli to the pan first, as they take slightly longer to cook. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
Add the sliced bell pepper to the pan and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.
Lower the heat to medium, then add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the pan.
Pour the low-sodium soy sauce and hoisin sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together using tongs or chopsticks until the noodles are thoroughly coated in the sauce and heated through.
Add the chopped spring onions and toss once more to combine evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and toasted sesame seeds, if using.
Serve immediately, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles before eating.
