Method
Soak the glass noodles in hot water for 8 minutes until soft, then drain, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute and drain again.
Thinly slice the shallots, spring onions, celery and chillies; finely chop the garlic and coriander; halve the cherry tomatoes.
Press the tofu and cut into 2cm cubes, then heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry for 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden.
Whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, palm sugar and garlic in a large mixing bowl to make the dressing.
Add the noodles, warm tofu, celery, cherry tomatoes, shallots and chillies to the bowl and toss well to coat.
Scatter over the spring onions and coriander and serve immediately while still warm.
