Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Break up the tofu into bite-size pieces and pat dry on kitchen paper. Heat a splash of veg oil in a large wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the dried tofu and stir fry for 4 minutes until turning golden. Push the tofu to the side of the pan; add another dash of oil before adding the garlic and ginger puree, gochujang, torn shiitake mushrooms, diced pepper and the grated carrot. Fry together for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the spicy kimchi to the pan, mix everything together and fry for a minute. Add the cooked rice and the whites of the salad onions; stir fry over the heat for 3 minutes until everything is piping hot. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and maple syrup and fry for a minute more.

Step 3

If serving with a fried egg, place a separate frying pan onto the stive now, add a little oil and once hot, hard fry the egg until runny but the base is a little crispy. Add a little soy to the yolk as it cooks.

Step 4

Divide between plates and top with the salad onion greens, sesame seeds and the fried egg, using.
