Ingredients
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup unsalted cashews, toasted

Instructions
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Remove the pot from heat, add the rice noodles, and let them soak for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to create the sweet hot sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and swirl to coat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the carrot, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the vegetables.
Pour the prepared sweet hot sauce over the noodles and toss well to evenly coat everything.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and toasted cashews.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
