  7. Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and vegetables.
  9. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.
