  6. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.

  7. Pour in beaten egg and lightly toss in the hot oil to scramble the egg.

  8. Remove egg from the wok and set aside.

  9. Pour reserved peanut oil in the small bowl back into the wok.

  10. Toss garlic and drained noodles in wok until they are coated with oil.

  11. Stir in vegetable broth, lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Toss and gently push noodles around the pan to coat with sauce.

  12. Gently mix in tofu, scrambled egg, salt, chili flakes, and 3 tablespoons peanuts; toss to mix all ingredients.

  13. Mix in bean sprouts and green onions, reserving about 1 tablespoon of each for garnish. Cook and stir until bean sprouts have softened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

  14. Arrange noodles on a warm serving platter and garnish with 3 tablespoons peanuts and reserved bean sprouts and green onions. Place lime wedges around the edges of the platter.
