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.
