Method
- Step 1Place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 5-10 minutes. Loosen the noodles with a fork. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Step 2Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the tofu. Cook for 6 minutes, turning occasionally, or until golden. Transfer the tofu to a plate lined with paper towel.
- Step 3Pour the eggs into the pan. Lightly scramble for 30 seconds until just cooked. Remove and set aside. Heat the remaining oil. Add the shallots, garlic and chilli. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
- Step 4Combine the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Add to the pan along with the noodles, tofu, egg and bean shoots. Toss until combined and heated through. Toss the coriander leaves through. Divide among serving bowls. Top with cucumber and nuts and serve with lime.
