Put an Asian twist on pasta night with this stir-fried rice noodle dish. Ready in just over 30 minutes, this recipe features springy, fresh sugar snap peas and asparagus, seared with fresh ginger to keep their crisp texture and bring out their sweetness. The tomato paste, hoisin, curry and fish sauce combine with the juices of the dish to coat the noodles and tofu adding deep layers of flavor. Browning the tofu brings out a nutty and meaty quality and a little crispiness. The touch of cilantro and lime finish the dish with a brightness. This generous one-bowl meal is great for dinner or lunch.
