Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes or until softened. Drain well and cut them in half if they are too long.
Prepare all the vegetables by julienning the carrot and zucchini, slicing the red bell pepper, and cutting the broccoli into small florets. Slice the green onions diagonally.
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, maple syrup, coconut aminos, lime juice, and salt. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Keep stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes until all the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the glass noodles to the other side. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss to coat.
Mix the noodles and vegetables together well, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more coconut aminos or lime juice for seasoning, if desired.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.
