Instructions
Step 1
Place noodles in a heatproof bowl. Cover with hot water. Stand for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add egg and swirl to coat. Cook for 2 minutes or until egg is set. Remove to a plate. Roll up and roughly chop.
Step 3
Heat remaining oil in pan. Add paste and tofu. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add noodles. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until noodles are warmed through. Remove from heat.

Divide noodle mixture between bowls. Top with onions, beansprouts and egg. Sprinkle with peanuts, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
