Cut the firm tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Blanch the bean sprouts and shredded cabbage by boiling them in water for 1 minute and then plunging them into ice-cold water. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the sauce by combining sunflower seed butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, blanched cabbage, bean sprouts, cucumber, and fried tofu.
Pour the sunflower seed butter sauce over the ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Garnish the dish with fried shallots and chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Nut-Free Ketoprak immediately, enjoying the blend of flavors and textures.
