Toss cubes of tofu in cornstarch to create a crispy outer layer.

Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan.

Add the tofu to the pan and stir until it gets crispy.

Add the sauce to the pan slowly while stirring; the cornstarch on the tofu will thicken the sauce.

Cook the rest of the vegetables in the pan while the tofu is cooking.

Prepare a bowl with lettuce, carrots, and cucumbers at the bottom.

Add cooked noodles on top of the vegetables, followed by the crispy tofu and mango.
