2. Toast the cashew nuts without seasonings in a static oven at 212°F for 20 minutes.
3. In a wok, heat the extra virgin olive oil, add the ginger and the chili pepper. Combine the vegetables in sequence, cooking them each for about 1 minute over a high heat and stirring often with a wooden scoop to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Put the onion first, followed by celery, pepper, carrot, courgette and finally the tomatoes (in all about 7/8 minutes). Add the smoked tofu, sauté another minute and salt to taste.
4. Bring to a boil salted water, dip the noodles and drain about 2 minutes less than the time indicated in the package).
