Directions:
- Place noodles into a baking dish and pour boiling water on top and set aside.
- Prepare a grill pan on high heat. Spray with olive oil. Add sugar snap peas and grill for two minutes.
- In a large bowl whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, sesame oil, sesame seeds, scallions, chili pepper and juice from one orange. Mix well.
- Prepare skewers; using sliced oranges, tofu and red peppers. (Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds and some scallions).

Notes & Tips:
You can grill the skewers if you want to give them a charred flavor and look. If you are making this for a vegan, leave out the honey and add the same amount of brown sugar instead.
