Before you start

  • Pull out 2 medium frying pans, a medium bowl, a small bowl & a grater

Start the prep

  • Peel and finely chop or grate the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the spring onions, keeping the green and white parts separate. Trim and cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop the kimchi
  • In the small bowl, combine the kimchi, rice vinegar, tamari, maple syrup, half the sesame seeds and 2 tbsp water (1 tbsp for 1 person). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper

Fry the tofu

  • Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towel. Cut into 2cm thick slices, then halve diagonally into triangles. Add to the medium bowl with the cornflour, a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat the tofu
  • Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and fry for 4-5 mins on each side, until golden and crisp
  • Add half the spring onion whites, the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min, then add the kimchi sauce and simmer for 1-2 mins, until thickened

Fry the rice

  • Meanwhile, heat the other medium frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pak choi and remaining spring onion whites and cook for 2-3 mins, then add the rice, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Season with salt

Plate up

  • Share the rice and edamame between bowls. Top with the tofu and pour over the kimchi sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds and spring onion greens to finish
