### Instructions

1. **Prepare the Noodles**: Soak or cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until tender but still chewy. Drain and set aside.

2. **Cook the Protein**: Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chilies, sautéing until fragrant. Add your protein and cook through.

3. **Add Vegetables**: Toss in bell peppers, onion, and any other veggies you like. Stir-fry for a few minutes until just tender-crisp.

4. **Combine and Season**: Add the noodles back to the pan. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Toss everything together over high heat until noodles are well coated and heated through.

5. **Finish with Basil**: Remove from heat, stir in fresh Thai basil leaves, and serve immediately.
