Steps

1. Soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 15 minutes or until softened, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large non-stick pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the vegetarian shrimp to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are heated through and slightly browned.
4. Incorporate the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and zucchini into the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
