Instructions
- Cook your noodles per the instructions on the back of your noodle packet and set aside.
- In a large wok or frypan over medium heat, add a tbsp of olive oil and the crushed garlic. Fry the garlic for about 2 minutes or until it no longer smells raw. Scoop garlic out of the pan and transfer to a small bowl.
- Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine, you can add more water if your sauce isn't runny enough. Adjust flavours to your taste. Set aside.

Add in your onions and fry for about 20 seconds, then add in the rest of your veggies and tofu, frying for about 2 minutes or until slightly charred. Turn off the heat and add your noodles and sauce to the veggies, toss and mix together, making sure the sauce coats everything.
