• Add 2 tablespoons of the dressing to the noodles and toss to coat, then set dressed noodles aside.
• In a small bowl, toss tofu cubes with the coconut oil, sweet chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the dressing mixture.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium to high heat and add in tofu, then saute until browned and crispy on all sides, around 5-minutes.
• Assemble the salad by dividing the romaine lettuce between two bowls and topping each with the dressed rice noodles.
