First prepare the peanut sauce by blending all ingredients in a blender, food processor or with an immersion blender.
Prepare the vegetables while the water heats for your pasta. Julienne the carrots (cut them into little match stick shapes). Place the carrots in the colander where you will drain the pasta. Cut the cucumbers in half and take out the seeds. Slice cucumbers. Cut the bell pepper into strips. Cut the tofu into 1 inch long pieces. Place the sliced green onions, cucumber, bell pepper and chopped tofu into a large mixing bowl.
Cook pasta al dente, making sure not to overcook it. Once done, drain over carrots in the colander (this acts as a subtle blanching for the carrots).
Combine pasta and carrots with vegetables in large bowl. Cover all with dressing and gently mix. Refrigerate until cold and then enjoy.
