Method
Soak the rice noodles in just boiled water for 6 minutes, then drain and rinse in cold water so they stop cooking.
Press the tofu dry, cut it into small cubes and fry in a hot wok with a little oil for 6 minutes until golden.
Stir the tamarind paste and soy sauce together with 2 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Push the tofu aside, add the drained noodles and pour the sauce over, tossing constantly for 2 minutes.
Add the bean sprouts and most of the spring onion and toss for 1 more minute so they stay crunchy.
Serve with the crushed peanuts, the rest of the spring onion and a wedge of lime.
