Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10-15 minutes, or until they become pliable but not too soft. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced red chili. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sliced baby corn to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Increase the heat to high and add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the pan. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the noodles.
Quickly toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce, using a spatula to gently fold the noodles over the vegetables.
Add the Thai basil leaves and toss everything together for another 1-2 minutes until the basil wilts and the noodles are heated through.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
