Step 2
Heat the oil
- Add the ginger & garlic and stir for about a minute (don't let the garlic brown)
- Add the tofu cubes to the pan and cook for a few minutes, until they start to darken on the outside
- Add the smooth peanut butter & stir so it's all mixed in nicely, then add the soy sauce, Sriracha and water
- Stir and cook down until you have a nice thick paste coating the tofu
- Add the coconut sugar stir until it's dissolved and mixed in thoroughly

Step 3
Cook the vegetables and serve
- Add the vegetables and mix round so they're all well covered in the sauce (don't let them get too soft - the veg will ideally have a lovely crunch to them)
- Add the crushed nuts, green onions & stir round
- Then, add the freshly cooked rice noodles (they should be fresh out the pan & still very much wet - this makes the sauce the perfect consistency)
- Mix them round so they're well covered in sauce
- Serve immediately with a dressing of Sriracha, crushed peanuts & spring onions
