    4. After the noodle has sipped the sauce, add bean sprouts, chives, and diced fried tofu

    5. Keep saute until bean sprouts partially cooked, chives are wilted, transfer to your plate.

    6. To garnish, place 1 Tbsp of the crushed peanut, dry chili flakes, sugar and a piece of lime wedges on a side.
