Boil the pasta until al dente. Drain. Slice snow peas diagonally

Heat oil in a wok or heavy skillet and saute garlic and shallots just until
they begin to brown. Add lime zest and ginger, then add tofu cubes and
saute for about a minute.
Add zucchini and snow peas and saute until crisp-tender. Add fish sauce,
lime juice and Splenda. Add noodles and toss to combine thoroughly.
Just before serving, add peanuts, sprouts and cilantro and toss briefly.

NOTES : Shrimp or chicken makes a great addition to this. If adding raw
meat, add the meat to the pan just before the tofu. I've also substituted
vegetables. Broccoli slaw is handy for this dish.
