Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, sriracha, peanut butter, lime juice, coconut sugar, and coconut milk until smooth to create the spicy Thai sauce.
Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Gently fold in the cooked rice noodles and pan-fried tofu. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Remove from heat and divide the noodle bowl into serving bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra tang, if desired.
