* Drain the noodles once done. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add a teaspoon of oil to the noodles and mix to prevent them from sticking and set aside.
* While the noodles are boiling, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a pan of medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes along with the curry powder, salt and ground black pepper. Toss to combine.
* Cook the tofu for 3 to 4 minutes until brown from both the sides. Set it aside.
* In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients listed under sauce - soy sauce, rice vinegar, coconut sugar, sriracha, ground black pepper and salt. Mix it well and set it aside.
* Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to a wok on high heat. Once the oil is really hot, add grated ginger and chopped celery and fry for 15 to 20 seconds until ginger starts to change color.
* Then add the carrot, green onion, red bell pepper and snow peas and cook for 30 seconds. Veggies are cooked on high heat for few seconds, they should remain crunchy.
* Add the prepared sauce and toss the veggies with the sauce for few seconds.
