    1 Place rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 6-8 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.

    2 Heat oil in a large wok over high heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring, for 8 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a bowl. Add the white part of the green onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Add coleslaw kit and cook for a further 3 minutes or until beginning to wilt. Add cooked tofu, noodles and green part of onion to the pan and continue to stir until combined.

    3 In a small bowl whisk together tamari, lime juice and peanut butter. Pour marinade over noodles. Top with coriander, chilli, bean sprouts and chopped peanuts, if using.
