Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking them in hot water for 5-7 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a medium-sized skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the crushed red chili flakes and cook for another 30 seconds to release their aroma.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour this mixture into the skillet.
Allow the sauce to simmer for a minute, then add the cooked and drained rice noodles to the skillet.
Toss the noodles in the sauce until they are evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Serve immediately, garnishing with sesame seeds if desired.
