Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of the sesame oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the crumbled tofu and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until some of the pieces just start to brown.
- Add the gochujang sauce and mix to evenly coat. Cook an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the pieces brown a little on the edges.
Meanwhile, prepare the slaw: In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and 1 teaspoon honey with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine until smooth and combined. Add the coleslaw mix and scallion whites and toss to evenly coat with dressing.
Divide the rice into 2 medium serving bowls.
Add 1 1/2 cups slaw and 1 cup tofu to each bowl. Top each with scallion greens and serve immediately.
