Bring the larger portion of water and the salt to a boil in a 5-quart pot. Add the rice noodles and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until just pliable with a slight bite. Drain, rinse briefly with cool water, and shake dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, fish sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Stir in the smaller portion of water to loosen the mixture.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat with one-quarter of the avocado oil. Add half of the ground beef and leave undisturbed for 2 minutes. Break into crumbles and cook for 2 minutes more until browned and 160°F. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with another quarter of the oil and the remaining beef.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat with the remaining oil. Add the shallots and bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chiles and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet and add the drained noodles. Pour in the sauce and toss for 2 minutes until the noodles are well coated and hot. Turn off the heat and fold in the Thai basil leaves until just wilted. Serve immediately.
