4 Tbsp. sugar or other sweetener
1 large onion, chopped
4-8 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb. tofu (optional)

• Prepare the noodles, drain and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the tamari, lemon or lime juice, peanut butter, tahini, chillies and sugar and set aside.
• In a wok, stir-fry the onion, garlic, tofu and ginger in sesame oil. Add the carrots, water chestnuts and a little water and stir-fry for a few minutes. Add the tamari mixture, bean sprouts, snow peas and noodles. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens – about 5 minutes. Serve with limes, chopped peanuts or sliced green onion.
