- 2 cups Spinach
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
Press and drain the tofu to remove excess water. Cut into thin strips.
In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add tofu strips and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
While the tofu is marinating, prepare the gochujang sauce by combining 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add tofu strips and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté carrots and zucchini until soft, about 3 minutes each, adding more oil if necessary. Set aside.
Briefly sauté the spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook mushrooms in the same pan with a splash of soy sauce until soft, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
To assemble Bibimbap, place 3/4 cup of cooked white rice into each bowl. Arrange tofu, carrots, zucchini, spinach, bean sprouts, and mushrooms over rice neatly.
Drizzle with gochujang sauce and sprinkle with chopped scallions, sesame seeds, and nori strips.
Serve immediately, mixing everything together before eating to enjoy all the flavors.
