Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, one tablespoon of sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, keep it warm.
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and julienning the carrot, slicing the cucumber into thin rounds, and roughly chopping the spinach.
Heat one tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (discarding any excess marinade) and cook for 7-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Season with salt and black pepper as you cook.
In the same skillet, quickly wilt the spinach over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Remove and set aside.
Fry the eggs sunny side up in the skillet to your desired doneness, typically 3–4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Assemble the bibimbap: Scoop jasmine rice into each serving bowl. Arrange cooked chicken, spinach, carrot slices, cucumber rounds, and a heap of kimchi over the rice. Place the fried egg on top, and drizzle with your choice of chili paste.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately.
