Method

Mix all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Heat a large wok with a good glug of oil, add the pepper and onion and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until softening.
Add the broccoli, cabbage and mushrooms, then stir-fry for a few more minutes until starting to soften. Add the dressing, noodles, prawns and tofu and stir-fry for a final 4-5 minutes until everything is steaming hot, crunchy but cooked through.
Stir in the beansprouts and serve with extra soy sauce and lime wedges for squeezing.
