Rice noodles with peas

My daughter is asking for noodles and I need to whip up something fast and get some veggies and fat in as well. So, I made a quick and simple noodles dish with peas that she loved. I used Rice Vermicelli for this dish. This is a Gluten-free recipe. If you need it dairy-free, substitute Olive oil for butter.
