  3. Remove it from the skillet and place it back in the bowl with the marinade. Stir gently, and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tsp. sesame oil to the pan. Over medium-high heat, stir fry the red pepper, garlic, green onions, and mushrooms until the mushrooms start to exude their juices.
  5. Add the lime juice, 3 tbsp. soy sauce, and sugar, and stir well. Continue stir-frying until the mixture boils.
  6. Drain the noodles and add them to the pan, along with the tofu and its marinade. Toss well to mix.
  7. Serve on a bed of shredded cabbage and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
