Notes
- Never add the stir-fry sauce until all the vegetables are cooked, and the cooked noodles are tossed into the vegetables.
- Cook the vegetables in stages, so to avoid overcooking.
- Keep the vegetables moving so everything cooks evenly.
- Marinating the tofu overnight gives it more flavor.
- Prepare the tofu ahead of time; it warms up fabulously in the stir-fry and saves time.
- Serve with peanuts and cilantro for a bonus.
