Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish that consists of a bowl of warm rice topped with various sautéed and seasoned vegetables, often including some type of protein such as beef, chicken, or tofu. The dish is then typically garnished with a fried egg and served with a flavorful sauce, often gochujang (a spicy red chili paste).

Here's how I make a delicious vegetarian bibimbap:
Ingredients:
Cooked white rice
Assorted vegetables (carrots, Green peppers, mushrooms)
Kimchi
Gochujang sauce: I don't use that ready-made one so I'm sharing my own sauce recipe here
Sesame oil
Sesame seeds (toasted)
Soy sauce or tamari (for seasoning)
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop your chosen vegetables. Sauté them individually with a bit of sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Keep them separate to maintain their individual flavors and colors.
Prepare the Gochujang Sauce: Use Gochugaru or red chili flakes and red chili powder. Take this in a bowl and mix it with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil. Mix it well all together and use this as a sauce
