Step 1
Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, garlic, and warm water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add rice noodles and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pot, boil bok choy and green beans together for 2 minutes until just tender-crisp. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tofu cubes and sear without stirring for 3 minutes until golden on one side.
Step 5
Stir and cook another 2 minutes until all sides are crispy and lightly browned. Pour in the peanut sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Step 6
Divide noodles between bowls, top with crispy tofu and sauce, then arrange bok choy, green beans, and pickled cucumbers alongside. Serve immediately.
