Bring the water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the rice noodles and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender but still slightly chewy. Drain, rinse briefly with cool water, and shake dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, fish sauce, and honey. Stir in two tablespoons of water to loosen the mixture.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat with half of the avocado oil. Add the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the beef to a plate but do not wipe out the skillet. Done when opaque and cooked through, 160°F.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat with the remaining oil. Add the shallot and bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the beef. Stir in the garlic and chiles and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the beef to the skillet and add the drained noodles. Pour in the sauce and toss for 1 minute until the noodles are well coated and hot. Turn off the heat and fold in the Thai basil leaves until just wilted.
