Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut or vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add sesame oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Julienne the carrot and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Add these to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Chop the green onions and add to the pan along with bean sprouts. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Return the tofu to the pan and add the cooked noodles. Pour in the soy sauce, lime juice, and sriracha. Toss everything together well, ensuring the noodles are fully coated with the sauce.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving hot.
Optionally, serve with additional lime wedges and extra sriracha on the side for those who like extra heat.
