Vegetarian Tallarin Saltado

This Peruvian dish is very similar to lomo saltado, except that it uses noodles instead of rice and potatoes. This dish is a true fusion of Latin American, Asian, and Italian flavors.

3 TB oil, divided
2 cups tofu, diced
1 red onion, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
