In some Southeast Asian cuisines, there is an overlapping of Oriental and

Indian influences. This is true here in this tasty and pleasantly offbeat

noodle dish.

 

Cut the tofu into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Blot between clean tea towels or

several layers of paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut into narrow

strips and set aside.

 

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, and stir together. Set

aside. In a heatproof container, combine the noodles with hot water to

cover. Let them soak, covered, until done but still firm, about 20

minutes. Drain the noodles, then place them on a cutting board, and chop

in several directions to shorten.

 

Heat the oils in a wok or stir-fry pan. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot,

and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 4 minutes. Add the bell peppers and

tofu strips, and stir- fry 3 to 4 minutes longer.

 

Add to the wok or stir-fry pan along with the thawed peas and sauce. Toss

quickly and stir-fry just until everything is well heated through. Serve

at once.
