Take a large head of butter lettuce and remove the leaves close to the base.

Wash the lettuce leaves and set them aside.

Grab a medium-sized bowl and add in 4 ounces of rice sticks.

Heat up some water and pour it over the noodles; let them soak for 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, add peanut butter, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar; whisk until thoroughly mixed.

Drain the water from the rice sticks and cut the long noodles into pieces about an inch long using scissors.

Slice a block of tofu into small pieces.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add sesame oil.

Add the tofu to the pan and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Pour in half of the peanut sauce and coat the tofu; keep on heat for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce forms crunchy bits.

Add the rice sticks and the rest of the peanut sauce to the tofu; mix well to combine everything.

Take some of the mixture and add it to a lettuce leaf like a taco.

Sprinkle ground peanuts on top and plate the dish.
