Ingredients:
8 ounces rice noodles
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 medium red bell peppers ( julienned)
2 garlic cloves ( minced)
2 large tomatoes ( ripe, seeded and diced)
4 ounces snow peas ( trimmed)
4 ounces firm tofu ( drained and cut into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks)
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice ( fresh)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro ( chopped)
1/4 cup cashews ( chopped, for garnish)
4 green onions ( chopped for garnish)
2 ounces bean sprouts ( for garnish)
Directions:
In large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. When water boils, add noodles, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, in large wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and garlic and stir-fry 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, snow peas and tofu and stir-fry just until tender, about 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and lime juice and bring to; simmer. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cooked noodles and cilantro.
Spoon noodle mixture onto warm plates and garnish with cashews, green onions and bean sprouts.
