  1. In a bowl, mix all tofu marinade ingredients. Add tofu and let sit for 15–30 minutes.

  3. Heat a pan with a little oil and pan-fry the marinated tofu until golden and crisp.
  4. Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth.
  5. In a large bowl, combine noodles, tofu, raw veggies, and edamame. Drizzle with dressing and toss well.
  6. Top with fresh herbs, crushed peanuts and a squeeze of lime.
