Method
Boil the rice noodles in a pot of water until tender, about 3–4 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
While the noodles cook, heat a pan over medium‑high heat, add a little oil, and sauté the ground meat together with the sliced carrot and zucchini until the meat is browned and the vegetables are softened, about 5–6 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, soy sauce, peanut butter, and the broth (or water) and blend until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.
Drain the noodles and add them to the pan with the sauce, meat, and vegetables; toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through and coat the noodles.
Finish the dish by drizzling oil mixed with spicy paprika over the stir‑fry, stirring briefly, and serve immediately.
