For the stir fry

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the tofu and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the chicken and tofu mixture from the pan and cover to keep warm.

Pour the eggs into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
Return the chicken mixture to the pan, along with the carrots. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the rice noodles to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Stir in the bean sprouts, green onions and cilantro. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and serve, garnished with herbs and lime wedges if desired.
