INSTRUCTIONS

1. ONE HOUR BEFORE:  remove tofu from packaging and lightly squeeze extra juice out.  Lay out on paper towels to absorb any remaining liquid for an hour - change paper towel if necessary. 
2. Make noodles as per instructions on package and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together: 1 tbs oil, 1 tbs cornstarch, 1 tsp red chili sauce and 1 tsp green chili sauce.  Cut tofu into 1 inch cubes and coat evenly with this mixture in the mixing bowl.
4. In a large wok or nonstick pot, heat the remaining oil over medium heat and fry the tofu.  Be sure to flip tofu so each side gets evenly cooked and browned/cripsy.
5. Remove tofu when browned/crispy and set aside in bowl.  Try to keep the oil in the wok/pot so you can reuse it for the next step.
6. In the same wok/pot, saute the garlic until golden brown.  
7. Add the julienned onions and saute until transparent.
8. Add the julienned green and red peppers.  Cook for 1 minute.

10. Add the sauces (green & red) and stir until mixed evenly.  
11. Add tofu and noodles and mix.  
12. OPTIONAL:  add eggs.
