Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender.

Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Add the rinsed noodles to the bowl of sauce and gently toss the noodles until they are evenly coated.

Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and taste to adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.

Enjoy your cilantro lime noodles immediately or let them cool slightly for room temperature serving.
