8 ounces dried wide, flat rice noodles
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving (3 limes)
3 tablespoons soy sauce or fish sauce
1 tablespoon chili sauce, such as Sriracha
1 tablespoon packed dark-brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 package (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained, thinly sliced, and patted dry
