In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce together. Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables, stirring to combine well.
Add the bean sprouts to the mixture, tossing everything together for another 2 minutes. This should lightly cook the bean sprouts while keeping them crisp.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles for added flavor.
