  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 medium zucchini, julienned
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 large eggs (or firm tofu, pressed and cubed)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup kimchi (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (for sauce)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  • Blanch the spinach and bean sprouts, then squeeze out excess water and season with sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame seeds.
  • Sauté shiitake mushrooms in sesame oil with a splash of soy sauce until tender.
  • Lightly sauté julienned carrots and zucchini separately in sesame oil until just tender.
  • Keep cucumber thinly sliced and raw for crunch.
  • For protein: pan-fry tofu cubes until golden, or fry eggs sunny-side-up with runny yolks.
  • In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, and water until smooth. Adjust consistency with water if needed.
  • Divide rice among bowls and arrange the prepared vegetables, kimchi (if using), and tofu or eggs on top.
  • Drizzle with gochujang sauce and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Mix thoroughly before eating for best flavor.
