Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the tofu and cornstarch together in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Arrange the tofu cubes on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden, about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, combine the rice, coconut milk, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Add the agave and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
- Combine the basil, cilantro, mint, cucumber, peanuts, rice vinegar, lime juice and chile in a small bowl. Stir and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook until tender, stirring and flipping occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Divide the rice evenly among bowls, top with the carrots, red cabbage and tofu. Drizzle with the peanut sauce and add a spoonful of the cucumber salad. Drizzle with sriracha and serve.
