For the tofu:
Fill a large bowl with water and add ice. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the snap peas. Blanch until they brighten and have lost their raw taste, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the snap peas and transfer them to the ice water. When cold, drain.
In a large bowl, combine the tofu, sesame oil, cornstarch, and soy sauce and mix. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat a wok or heavy saute pan over high heat. Add the grapeseed oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the tofu and stir-fry until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the snap peas and the salsa. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
