Instructions

1 Use a knife to cube the tofu. Gently place the cubed tofu in a large and shallow
dish. Mix all of the marinade ingredients (except for the potato starch,
breadcrumbs, and sesame seeds) together in a bowl or measuring cup. Pour the
marinade over the tofu, making sure each piece is in the marinade. Let the
marinated tofu sit in the fridge for 30-45 minutes (or up to 2 hours). Mix
gently halfway through the marinating time.
2 Preheat the oven to 425F. Make sure the rack is in a middle or bottom position.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick pan.
3 If you haven't already, prepare the rice noodles according to package
directions. Drain and rinse them under cold water.
4 Make the peanut sauce by combining all of the ingredients, whisking vigorously
to avoid any clumps of peanut butter.
5 Add potato starch to a large bowl and add the tofu to the bowl. Toss gently to
coat the tofu in the potato starch, then add the breadcrumbs and continue
tossing gently. Add the sesame seeds and toss gently combining everything
together evenly.
6 Spoon the tofu out onto the baking sheet, leaving the extra marinade behind.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and use tongs to gently
flip each piece. Drizzle extra marinade on top and place back in the oven to
bake for an additional 15 minutes. Once done, let the tofu cool for 5 minutes.
7 Tear off sturdy pieces of lettuce and arrange them on a large plate or platter.
Use tongs to place a small amount of noodles on each lettuce leaf. Use your
hands to place a small handful of tofu onto each piece of lettuce. Then add the
desired toppings and drizzle each piece with peanut sauce.
