Instructions
- Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 (1/4 tsp) tsp salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, cut bok choy into 1/2-inch pieces. (TIP: Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt!)
- Add soy sauce mirin blend, gochujang and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar to a small bowl, then whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels.
- Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over.
- Season with half the garlic salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
- Add half the sesame oil to the same pan, then the bok choy. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer bok choy to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Add remaining sesame oil and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan, then tofu. (NOTE: Cook tofu in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side.
- Reduce heat to medium, then add sauce mixture to the pan with tofu.
- Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the sesame seeds.
- Slice tofu.
- Divide rice between bowls.
- Top with bok choy and tofu.
- Drizzle over the sauce from the pan.
- Sprinkle over remaining sesame seeds.
If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half, parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken breasts.
Add remaining sesame oil and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan, then tofu. (NOTE: Cook tofu in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side.
