Heat 2 tbsp. lime juice, 1/2 tsp. ginger and garlic with ¼ cup water in a sauce pan. Heat over medium heat, until sugar has dissolved. Add a pinch of salt. Remove, stir in 1/4 cup lime juice and let cool.
Pour dressing into vermicelli salad and toss.
Make the peanut sauce: whisk together peanut butter, 1/2 tsp. grated ginger, soy sauce and brown sugar with hot water to thin.

Notes
The inner leaves of the cabbage are more tender than the outside. If you want to make this a slaw, thinly shred the red cabbage and add to the bowl. Toss with both the lime dressing and peanut dressing. Serve as a side dish. Don't want a crunchy bowl? Make them into spring rolls! Make the slaw as directed, but slice the baked tofu into 1" slabs. Layer the shredded cabbage, sliced tofu, and napa cabbage slaw on the spring roll wrappers. Tightly wrap and serve with ginger-peanut sauce.
