Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and lime juice. Set aside.
In another small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the plant-based beef crumbles and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and vegetables.
