Cook rice noodles according to package instructions, but only until al dente (probably around 5 minutes). Drain but do not rinse, and put back into the pot they were boiled in.
Grate ginger; mince garlic; cut red bell pepper and carrots into matchstick-size pieces; chop green onions and peanuts.
Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, peanut butter, honey, ginger, garlic, and chili paste (or Sriracha) in a small bowl and whisk until combined.
Pour the sauce over the noodles and mix well, until all noodles are coated. Toss veggies in until well combined.
