Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender.

Blend until smooth.

If the dressing is made ahead of time, and refriegrate the dressing, you may need to add a little water and blend again before tossing in the noodle salad. The dressing thickens when placed in the refrigerator.

If you don't have a high-speed blender, the dressing can be whisked instead.

In a large pot, fill ¾ of the pot with water and 1 teaspoon salt.

Bring to a boil, and add rice noodles.

Using a fork, or slotted spoon, move the noodles around the pan to separate the noodles, so they don't stick together.

Then, add the florets to the boiling water and noodles.

Stir.

Cook 4-6 minutes.

When the noodles and broccoli are done, pour all the contents into a colander into the sink to drain and run cold water through the noodles and broccoli.

You may also steam the broccoli for 5 minutes separately if you prefer.

First, carefully remove the tofu from the package, discarding the fluid from the package.  

Then, place the tofu in the middle of the press and turn both knobs equally about four turns. I usually place the tofu press in the sink on its side, but for this visual post, I placed it on a plate to drain.

Turn the knobs every two minutes, equally until you have the end result (the last picture).

Most people stop here…NOT YET. Keep turning until the knobs are screwed as far as they can to almost touch the end like this:
Although I have never tried this, I decided this time, I would measure the amount of water I got from the bottom of the plate at the end.

Now, remove the press from the plate, and I give it another press with some paper towel for excess fluid removal.

Next, cut tofu into 4 identical slabs

Then, combine the marinade ingredients and whisk together.

Place tofu slabs in the marinade and leave overnight.

Even though I prefer grilled tofu, not everyone has a grill or the climate to grill outdoors.

Preheat the grill to medium-low

Place a grill mat on the grill (you can also use a grill pan, or if you are careful, you can place the tofu directly on the grill.

Cook for about 8 minutes on each side

Remove from the grill and place back in the marinade until ready to use.  

Then, cut it into strips or cubes

Simply follow the same pressing and marinating process. 

Then, preheat oven to 400 degrees

Place cut or uncut tofu on a silicone baking mat  or parchment paper

Cook for 15 minutes

Remove from oven and flip tofu over; cook for an additional 15 minutes. 

Simply follow the same pressing and marinating process. 

Set air fryer temperature at 375 degrees

Cook 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times through the cooking process.

Place the noodles in a large bowl

Toss in the coconut peanut dressing

Add the cooked broccoli, red bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and mango

Toss until combined.

Using tongs, add noodles and vegetables to individual bowls.

Add cubed grilled tofu (if using) to each bowl and top with additonal cilantro and peanuts.
