Start by preparing the rice noodles according to package instructions until they are al dente. Drain them and set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the tofu cubes, tossing to coat them evenly, and let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
While the tofu is cooking, mince the garlic cloves, grate the ginger, peel and julienne the carrot, and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Cut the broccoli into small florets, and chop the scallions into 1-inch pieces.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot, bell pepper, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the tofu to the skillet and add the cooked noodles. Pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and toss everything together to combine well.
Add the scallions and sesame seeds, stirring through the noodles and vegetables. Cook for an additional minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the noodles before serving to add a touch of brightness.
Serve the stir-fried noodles hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
