Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
While the noodles are soaking, cut the firm tofu into small cubes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, use the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to lightly sauté the bean sprouts for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin slices and set aside for serving.
For the peanut sauce, combine peanut butter, coconut aminos, tamarind paste, minced garlic, chopped red chili, salt, palm sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (around 5-7 minutes). Adjust the consistency with more water if needed. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Ketoprak by placing a portion of noodles into each serving bowl. Top with bean sprouts, cucumber slices, and fried tofu.
Drizzle the peanut sauce generously over the top.
Finish by adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a side of crispy rice crackers.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free Ketoprak!
