Make

Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the first portion for the noodles) and then tofu to heated wok. Let tofu cook, without stirring, until golden brown on the bottom. Then saute until golden brown on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes total. Set tofu aside and return pan to heat.
Add cooking oil (the second portion for the noodles) and then carrots, bok choy and white parts of green onions to heated oil. Saute until vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
Pour soy-ginger sauce over vegetables and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in noodles.
Divide noodles between serving bowls. Top with tofu and green parts of green onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
