Cooking Steps
Before starting, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce.Heat Guide for Step 2: 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) mild, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) medium, 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) spicy and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) for extra-spicy! Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, trim, then diagonally halve snow peas.Thinly slice green onion.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.Combine honey-garlic sauce, soy sauce, ginger-garlic puree and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) chili-garlic sauce in a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces.
When the pan is hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until lightly golden, 1-2 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on sesame seeds so they don't burn!) Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the pan with sesame seeds, then tofu. Cook, stirring often, until tofu is golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Add 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) of sauce mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tofu starts to caramelize, 2-3 min.Transfer to a plate.

Increase heat to high. Add tofu, noodles and remaining sauce mixture to the pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until noodles are coated and veggies are tender-crisp, 1-2 min. (TIP: Add 1 tbsp reserved pasta water at a time if noodles get too dry.) Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
