- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded

- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 200 grams tofu, firm, cubed
- 2 units scallions, chopped

Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10-15 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced onion until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.
Pour in the soy sauce and vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are fully coated and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently stir in the cooked tofu and chopped scallions. Season with black pepper to taste.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles.
