Instructions

• Cook the noodles in plenty of rapidly simmering water until al dente, then drain.
• Meanwhile, stir the soy sauce and sugar together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok or stir-fry pan. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
• Add the tofu and continue to sauté until it becomes golden on most sides, stirring often.
• Add the bean sprouts, scallions, and ginger. Raise the heat to medium-high and stir-fry just until the sprouts are slightly wilted, about a minute.
• Add the cooked, drained noodles to the pan along with the soy sauce mixture and dried hot pepper flakes or hot sauce (or, you can pass them around).
• Stir everything together and stir-fry until the mixture is well heated through.
• Serve at once, passing around the chopped peanuts for garnishing individual servings.
