Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Toss the tofu with the cornstarch until each cube has been coated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the tofu on it. Then, drizzle it with olive oil and salt. Once your oven is preheated, bake the tofu for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, chili oil, maple syrup, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Your sauce is ready.
Serve the tofu on a bed of hot rice with the sauce on the side. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each Tofu Bowl.
