Prepare the udon noodles according to package instructions.

Prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and mix until well combined. Set aside.

Press or mince the garlic. Slice all the vegetables.

Using e.g. paper towels, press the tofu to squeeze out the extra water. Then cut the tofu block into strips. Heat some oil in a large wok or sauté pan. Add the tofu and 1 tbsp of the prepared sauce. Fry the tofu until it is light brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, again heat some oil. Add garlic with veggies and cook for 1 minute. Add the udon noodles and the rest of the sauce. Cook on high heat until the sauce coats the noodles (3-4 minutes). Add the tofu, toss with noodles gently. Remove from heat, add a tbsp of lime juice with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
