- Transfer the noodles to the bowl with the sauce and toss to combine.
- Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
- When the oil is fragrant, add the diced carrot.
- Saute the carrots for 4-5 minutes, or until they are your desired crispness.
- Add the snap peas, garlic, and ginger and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the vegetables to the bowl with the noodles and toss to combine.
- Serve with sliced green onion on top.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped peanuts, if desired.
