Instructions
- Prepare the Vermicelli Noodles:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.

- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

- Stir-fry the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

- Add the cooked vermicelli noodles to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
