Cut the tofu into cubes. Set aside on paper towels to drain. Heat a wok & add the tofu without oil. Stir-fry until heated through but not crisp. Put in a mixing bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients except the assorted vegetables & lettuce. Mix thoroughly. Line a serving bowl with a layer of lettuce leaves & pour the saute over them. Serve surrounded by rice & assorted vegetables. *Heat uncooked rice over moderate heat until golden stirring to prevent burning. When the colour is uniform remove from heat cool & gring to a powder. It is best to use a mortar & pestle. +Roast whole chilies stems too in a dry wok until they darken. Be careful that they do not burn. Cool. Remove stems & seeds. Grind.
