In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso, honey, soy sauce and sriracha. Set aside. Place a large skillet over high heat with the oil. Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry until the shrimp just begin to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, bell pepper, carrots and snow peas to the pan and continue stir-frying until the vegetables just begin to tenderize, about 1 minute.

Serve the stir-fry over the steamed rice garnished with the bean sprouts.
