Soak the rice vermicelli in hot water for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Drain well and set aside.
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the softened rice vermicelli to the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the vegetables.
Pour in the soy sauce and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
