Instructions
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Add tofu and 1 tbsp flour to a zip-top bag. Seal bag and shake to coat tofu.
- Add sweet chili sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and 1/2 tsp sugar to a small bowl, then stir to combine.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add sesame oil, then peppers.
- Cook stirring occasionally, until peppers have softened slightly, 2-3 min. Add coleslaw mix, then season with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are tender crisp, 1-2 min.
- Transfer veggies to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add noodles to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, until tender, 1-2 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup noodle water, then drain noodles. Rinse noodles under warm water.
- Drain well, then return to the large pot.
- Heat the same pan, from step 2 over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil then tofu.
- Pan-fry, turning cubes occasionally, until crispy and golden-brown all over, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove pan from the heat and add prepared sauce (from step 1). Stir to combine until tofu is coated.
- Immediately pour sauce, including tofu, into the pot with the noodles. Add veggies and reserved cooking water to the pot, then toss to combine.
- Divide noodles between plates of bowls.
- Sprinkle green onions over top.
