Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes.
Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions; typically soaking in hot water until tender, then draining.
In a pan, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and fry until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add thinly sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and a couple of tablespoons of warm water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the drained rice noodles to the pan along with the sauce. Toss everything gently to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly.
Return the crispy tofu to the pan, stirring to combine all ingredients while ensuring the tofu remains mostly intact.
Allow the dish to heat through for another minute or two, then adjust seasoning if needed.
Plate and serve warm, enjoying the balance of nutty creaminess, tangy citrus, and a hint of ginger spice.
