Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, vegetable broth, rice vinegar, and maple syrup. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then set both bowls aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, sugar snap peas, and zucchini. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the second tablespoon of sesame oil to the empty side. Add the cooked rice noodles and gently toss them to reheat for 2 minutes.
Pour the coconut aminos sauce mixture over the noodles and vegetables, and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir quickly to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is glossy and clings to the noodles and vegetables.
Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
