Jalapenos Stir Fried Tofu Puffs with Noodles

I brought this tofu puffs two months ago, mean time lot of things happens in the life and can not use that. One day I just had it and thought to make something out of it before its expiry. Meantime saw this recipe on internet , she made this with pork , but  I had this tofu puffs to use so its perfect for me. But if you want to use non veg like pork, chicken, fish , lamb , just use more water in marinade and cook on both sides till its perfectly cooked. I can not give you time on non veg because I have no idea how long it takes to cook. But if you are using regular tofu then just make it crispy on both sides and take it aside and then proceeds with rest of the cooking method as per recipe. This doesnot require any extoic vegetables or sauces, just use same ingredients different way and you will have different dishes all the time.

1 cup of Tofu puffs

4 cups boiled noodles of your choice
