Not a real detailed recipe here, but I did like the end product... So, I'd like to try to get it down here.
I soaked some rice noodles according to package, used half a serving per tray. I think it was one oz dry per tray.
Sliced the tofu into 6 slices and drained for a bit on paper towels. Then cut each slice into 8 cubes.
Sauce: This was totally a guess, based off a few different recipes and modified as I tasted it. I used about a cup of chicken broth as the base. Added a T of cornstarch, 2 T of soy, 2 T of oyster sauce, 1 T of siracha, a tsp or so of sesame oil, and the juice of a lime. The lime was critical to the flavor, really brightened it up. Mix throughly.
Sauteed off some veggies in a bit of olive oil. I used broccoli, red pepper, mushroom, onion, carrot, green onion. Remove to bowl. Saute tofu cube lightly in a bit of oil until browned a bit. Add veggies back to pan. Add the sauce mixture. Let come to a simmer, cook for a minute of so, then remove from heat. The cornstarch will thicken up as it cools.
According to my measurements and calculations, this is 300cal per serving. I added a few almonds and a bit of steamed spinach when I ate it. Pretty darn tasty! I like the tofu much better this way, over the baked version. Surprised me -- I didn't think I'd like tofu so much, especially since it's barely cooked.
