2 tablespoons honey (divided)
3 tablespoons sesame oil (divided)
6 cups kale (chopped; or other greens of your choice)
1 cup bean sprouts (heaping)

Steps

Prepare the Crispy Tofu as directed in the recipe. In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Toss with cooked tofu and set aside.
Set out 4 bowls for the cooked vegetables. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chopped kale and cook for 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from the water, squeeze dry, and place in one of the prepared bowls. Toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Set aside. 
Refill pot with fresh water and return to boil. Add bean sprouts and cook until tender and slightly translucent, 2-3 minutes. Remove to a bowl, toss with 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce. Set aside.
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add white parts of the green onions, 1 teaspoon garlic, and mushrooms. Sautee for 4 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender. Toss with 1 teaspoon soy sauce and remove to one of the prepared bowls.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Add carrots, the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and the remaining teaspoon minced garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender. Remove to final bowl.
Just before serving, heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggs sunny side up.
In a small bowl, stir together the chili pepper paste and the remaining tablespoon of honey.
To serve: Place cooked quinoa in the bottom of the bowl. Then top with small mounds of tofu, kale, mushrooms, carrots, and bean sprouts. Top with toasted sesame seeds, a fried egg, and the green tops of the green onions. Serve with the chili bean paste.
