Instructions
Cook the white rice according to package instructions.
In a bowl, combine the vegan chicken strips with soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and sauté the marinated vegan chicken strips until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add a little more sesame oil if needed, and separately sauté the spinach, carrots, zucchini, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and red bell pepper until just tender. Season each vegetable lightly with a pinch of salt and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the gochujang paste, rice vinegar, and sugar until smooth to create the bibimbap sauce.
To assemble, divide cooked rice among four bowls. Arrange the sautéed vegetables, vegan chicken strips, and scallions on top.
Drizzle each bowl with the gochujang sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve warm and mix thoroughly before eating for a delicious and authentic bibimbap experience.
