Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Heat the canola oil or vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over high heat.
  3. Add the torn tofu to the pan and stir-fry for 8-9 minutes until lightly golden and crispy.
  4. Lower the flame to medium and add the minced garlic and red onion. Stir-fry with the tofu for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. 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.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, vegan oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, water, and ground white pepper to make the sauce.
  7. 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.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, minced bird's eye chilies, sliced scallions, and lime wedges before serving.
