Make the sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the tofu pieces. Cook tofu until it begins to crisp on the edges, stirring to make sure all sides of the tofu cubes get browned. this process should take about 5-7 minutes. Once tofu is browned, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add cooked pasta and stir-fry for another 5 minutes. Add tofu back in and add the sauce. Cook for another minute, until the sauce is heated through. Serve immediately.
