  • 12 ounces uncooked thick rice noodles
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce or additional reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Dash Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • 3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 package (12 ounces) extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
