Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Chop the broccoli into small florets. Peel and julienne the carrots. Slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into thin strips. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white parts from the green parts.
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, maple syrup, tahini, lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the cooked rice noodles, gently tossing to coat in the oil and heat through.
Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated.
Remove the stir fry from heat and sprinkle with the green parts of the green onions.
Serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a lime wedge or extra red pepper flakes for added heat.
