1. Press the firm tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
2. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
3. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Add the shiitake mushrooms, carrot, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Return the tofu to the skillet, pour in the sauce mixture, and toss everything to combine well.
8. Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and gently mix with the tofu and vegetables to ensure everything is well-coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
9. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Vegetarian Dry Pork Noodle.
