Preparation:
Cook noodles as package directs; rinse with cold water, drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a heavy, 12 inch skillet heat peanut oil over moderately high heat 1 minute. Add onions, garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add celery, zucchini, carrots, sweet red pepper and mushrooms; stir fry 2 minutes longer. Stir in 1/2 cup of broth; cover and simmer 3 minutes. Add broccoli and snow peas; cover and simmer 2 minutes. In a small bowl combine remaining broth with cornstarch, hot pepper, soy sauce, tahini, peanut butter, sesame oil and sugar. Add to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, over moderate heat until thick - about 4 minutes. Add noodles and tofu; cover and simmer 2 minutes or until tofu is heated through. Transfer to a platter, toss gently; sprinkle with green onion tops.
