Toss those takeout menus! In this video, Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey makes a healthy (and meatless!) classic noodle dish at home.
Soak noodles according to package instructions; drain. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, chili sauce, and brown sugar.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 teaspoon oil over medium-high, tilting to coat pan. Add eggs, swirl to coat bottom, and cook until just set, about 1 minute. Transfer eggs to a cutting board, loosely roll up, and cut crosswise into thin strips. Add 4 teaspoons oil to skillet and heat. Add tofu in a single layer and cook until golden brown on both sides, 7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to cutting board.
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, carrots, garlic, and scallion whites to skillet and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add lime-juice mixture and bring to a simmer. Add noodles and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add eggs and tofu and gently toss to combine. Season to taste with salt. Divide among four plates and top with peanuts, cilantro, and scallion greens. Serve with lime wedges.

Made this last night. It was delicious! It was easy and came out exactly like the recipe said. The video was super helpful. Will definitely be making this one again!
Delicious with complex flavors if you use the fish sauce. However, follow package directions to cook noodles . 1 minute in the stir fry after a 30 minute soak was not enough time to cook them. I had to add water which then diluted the sauce and cook longer. Noodles should be boiled separately before adding to stirfry.
Delicious and easy! Will make this again, absolutely.
Would like to get nutrition information on this one - where can I find it??
OUTSTANDING- even better the second day. Appropriately hot and spicy; simple ingredients and easy preparation.
