- Soak the rice noodles in a bowl of recently boiled water for 10 minutes.
- Heat up the wok, then add the oil and tofu chunks, toss in the oil until they're golden and crisp. Add the veg and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, then pour in the sauce and coat the veg. Using tongs, transfer the noodles straight into the pan from being soaked (discard the water), add 1-2 tbsp soy sauce and toss the noodles to evenly coat in the sauce.
- Serve up into 4 bowls with a sprinkling of black sesame seeds and enjoy!
