Steps

  1. Put the rice and the water in a pot, bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes; rest 10 minutes off the heat, then spread on a plate to cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, make the sauce: whisk the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey and cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  3. Toss the tofu with the cornstarch until lightly coated.
  4. Heat one third of the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten egg and scramble until set with no runny parts, 160°F (71°C), about 1 minute; transfer to a plate.
  5. Add another third of the canola oil to the skillet, add the tofu and cook, turning, until golden and crisp on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to the plate.
  6. Add the remaining third of the canola oil, then the garlic, ginger and green onion whites; stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add the bok choy and kale and stir-fry 3 minutes until bright and just tender, then add the spinach and toss until wilted.
  8. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry 3 minutes, pressing it against the pan so some grains crisp.
  9. Return the tofu and egg to the skillet, pour in the soy-sesame sauce and toss until everything is coated and hot.
  10. Serve topped with the green onion greens and the sesame seeds.
