Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into a bowl, resembling scrambled eggs.

    ~2 min
  2. 2

    Mince the garlic finely. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, gochujang, and sesame oil to create the sauce.

    ~1 min
  3. 3

    Heat 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to lightly brown.

    ~5 min
  4. 4

    Add the minced garlic to the pan with the tofu and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    ~1 min
  5. 5

    Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the tofu. Stir well to coat the tofu evenly.

    ~1 min
  6. 6

    In a separate small pan or the same pan if large enough, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the rice cakes and pan-fry them until golden brown and slightly chewy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

    ~7 min
  7. 7

    Serve the spicy honey garlic tofu scramble alongside the pan-fried rice cakes. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Tips

  • For extra crispy rice cakes, make sure the pan is hot before adding them and don't overcrowd the pan.
  • You can adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spiciness level. If you don't have gochujang, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be substituted, though the flavor will be different.
