Method

  1. Whisk together 1 tbsp sesame oil, the soy, honey, gochujang, garlic and lime juice in a bowl. Add the tofu and turn to coat. Heat a lidded frying pan over a medium- high heat. Once hot, fry the tofu for 3 mins each side until lightly charred. Brush over a little extra marinade, reserving the rest, and set aside. Wipe out the pan. 
  2. Add the remaining oil to the pan; fry the pak choi over a medium heat for 1-2 mins. Add the leftover marinade and a splash of water, cover and cook for 4 mins or until the pak choi has softened and a sharp knife can easily be inserted into the root. Scatter over the sesame seeds. Meanwhile, heat the rice to pack instructions. 
  3. Serve the tofu and pak choi with the rice and lime wedges, with red chilli sprinkled on top, if you like.
