Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Press and cube the tofu into 1-inch pieces.
Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, along with the tofu. Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle with chili flakes. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles and vegetables are well coated.
Slice the green onions and add them to the noodle stir-fry. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and toss again.
Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and additional lime wedges on the side.
