Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, usually about 5-6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, unsalted vegetable stock, low-sodium oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and honey (or maple syrup). Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add minced garlic, red chilies, and shallots to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the cubed tofu to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, letting it lightly brown on all sides.
Add the baby corn and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the cooked rice noodles to the center. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles.
Toss the noodles and vegetables together, ensuring everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and gently mix in the Thai basil leaves until wilted.
Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your low-sodium drunken noodles!
