In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Finely mince the garlic and ginger, then add to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Julienne the carrot and thinly slice the red bell pepper and scallions. Add them to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the vegan kimchi and cook for an additional 2 minutes, mixing the ingredients well.
Stir in the cooked rice noodles, tofu, and soy sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and warmed through.
Transfer the noodles to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top for a fresh burst of flavor.
