Directions

Put the rice noodles in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and let sit until the noodles are just tender, drain and toss with 1 teaspoon of oil.
In a small saucepan, heat the fish sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat and set aside.
In a wide skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Over medium-high heat, add the garlic clove and scallions. Cook stirring, until the garlic begins to turn lightly golden. Add the egg and scramble until just set.
Add the Napa cabbage and red pepper, sprinkle with a little salt. Once the cabbage has wilted add the tofu and cook for another 2 minutes. Add in the noodles and vinegar sauce, and heat the noodles through. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Serve on a large platter sprinkled with chopped peanuts, mint, and cilantro and few extra wedges of lime.

Chef Tips

If you’re allergic to peanuts, use chopped toasted cashews if you can tolerate them otherwise simply leave the nuts out.
