Start by soaking the rice noodles in hot water according to the package instructions until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, or until they begin to soften but remain crisp.
Add the drained rice noodles to the pan, along with the chopped green onions.
Pour the soy sauce and lime juice over the noodles and vegetables, stirring everything together to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro over the top.
Serve the vegetarian fried rice noodles hot, garnished with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
