stir fry vermicelli with tofu and veggies

I love going to my local Chinese Supermarket!! They have all sorts of noodles and gluten free goodies: from sweet potato noodles to rice vermicelli, from rice paper for wraps to prawn crackers. For this recipe I used green tea vermicelli, but I cannot truly say that I managed to taste the green tea in them. However they added a great colour to the dish. This is a very tasty and quick dish to make and you can use any legs you have in the fridge.
