Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. Add the diced tofu to the skillet. Stir gently to coat with the aromatics and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly heated through.
  4. Add the cooked prawns and fish sauce to the pan. Stir well to combine and heat for another 2 minutes until the prawns are hot.
  5. Toss in the sliced red and green bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp.
  6. Add the cooked vermicelli noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and vegetables.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
