Instructions
- Prepare the dried bean thread noodles by soaking them in warm water for 8-10 minutes until pliable. Drain them in a colander and set aside.
- Heat the canola oil or vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over high heat.
- Add the torn tofu to the pan and stir-fry for 8-9 minutes until lightly golden and crispy.
- Lower the flame to medium and add the minced garlic and red onion. Stir-fry with the tofu for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the julienne-cut carrots, sliced red bell pepper, shredded Napa cabbage, tomatoes, bean sprouts, bird's eye chilies, and scallions to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, vegan oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, water, and ground white pepper to make the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the pan and add the cooked bean thread noodles. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and the sauce is well distributed.
