Tofu and orange pepper noodles

I keep making this, because it's so tasty, but I always forget to write it up, and therefore always seem to forget an ingredient. So I'll write it up, but will probably have forgotten an ingredient! If so, I'll update it when I think of it! Quantities are approximate, I tend to just do it by eye.

Noodles (cook them first if they're the dried sort)
Marinated tofu (I use Cauldron brand, but you could marinate some tofu yourself, just make sure its firm and dry)
Spring onions (chopped)
Orange pepper (capsicum, chopped)
Good sprinkling of oregano
Smaller sprinkling of cayenne pepper
Cashew nuts
Dark soy sauce
Tomato puree

-Start by stir frying the pepper, add the spring onions and tofu, plus the oregano and cayenne, once it's had a couple of minutes to cook, depending on how thinly you've sliced it.
-Add the noodles, and then the soy sauce and tomato puree, don't use too much of these as they have quite a strong flavour.
-Stir well, then add the cashew nuts once the rest looks pretty much ready, they only need to get warm, and maybe brown a little bit.
