Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetable broth to make the sauce.
