VEGAN BIBIMBAP #dinnerrecipe #food #amazingrecipe #easyrecipe

Do you recollect my ongoing post for veggie lover katsu curry? In the event that you review, it was enlivened by my dissatisfaction at eating an extremely unremarkable variant of that dish while out. All things considered, the story behind this formula is practically the equivalent. One night, we went over a bit, autonomous place in the focal point of town that, nearby an omni menu, vowed to serve a great choice of veggie lover forms of numerous Asian works of art.

We were energized and wanting to at long last discover a spot were we can eat out more routinely, yet when the dishes showed up and we tasted them, our fervor wore off. I had a vegetarian bibimbap, which was unsatisfying to the point that I nearly needed to have a cry.

This great Korean dish of 'blended rice' is normally stuffed with surface and flavor, however this was definitely not. Such is life. I surmise you won't know until you attempt. I chose to transform a negative into a positive and to make my own.

The most astounding thing is that a bibimbap isn't difficult to make by any means. It commonly comprises of a few crude and cooked components united by the smoky and zesty Gochujang sauce made with Korean bean stew peppers. This Korean pre-cursor to a popular 'buddha bowl' should have everything. It's filling, delectable and very much adjusted whenever progressed nicely. Conventional variants include short grain rice (like sushi rice, for instance), yet I went for an increasingly nutritious darker rice for this situation.

Like different dishes made of divergent fixings that just get bound together once the sauce gets mixed through, this dish is an ideal contender for fixing cluster preparing ahead of time. Convenient if, similar to me, you get so enveloped with work that you frequently need time to consider lunch. As a matter of fact, I am lying, I work with nourishment, so I generally have the opportunity to consider lunch, however a touch of forward making arrangements for the days when I'm shooting is a genuine saver.

INGREDIENTS

BIBIMBAP
200 g / 7 oz firm non-GMO (cotton not silken) tofu, pressed
4 tsp soy sauce or tamari for GF version)
1 tsp Gochujang (Korean chilli paste) this is the one I used
2-4 tsp oil (I used rice bran oil)
100 g / 3½ oz mushrooms (shiitake if you can get them)
100 g / 3½ oz spinach
1 carrot shredded
50 g / 2 oz edamame beans
½ cup rice, cooked (I used brown)
pickled daikon (see below)
½ long cucumber, finely sliced
1 spring onion, finely sliced
PICKLED DAIKON (make a day in advance if you can)
100 g / 3½ oz daikon (or radishes)
60 ml / ¼ cup rice wine vinegar + 60-120 ml / ¼-½ cup water
2 tbsp sugar, adjust to taste
1 tsp salt, adjust to taste
DRESSING
2 tbsp Gochujang (Korean chilli paste)
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for GF version)
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp maple syrup (or sugar dissolved in soy sauce)
1 small garlic clove, finely grated

METHOD

TOFU
Cut a pressed block of tofu into equal size cubes – I got 12 out of mine.
Place the tofu in a shallow bowl and pour soy sauce (mixed in with 1 tsp of Gochujang) over it. Set the tofu aside for at least 30 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb the marinade, making sure you turn the pieces to the other side at least once, halfway through.
If you have a non-stick pan, you can pan-fry the tofu. Heat up 2 tsp of oil on a non-stick pan. Place the marinated tofu cubes into the hot oil. Fry, turning frequently until browned on all sides. Be careful as the tofu is likely to splatter a little bit initially.
If you don’t have a non-stick pan or want to reduce the amount of oil you consume, you can also bake the tofu. Set the oven to 180° C / 355° F and place the marinated cubes of tofu on a baking sheet. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning once, halfway through.
PICKLED DAIKON (make a day in advance if you can)
Slice the daikon into thin slices and place in a jar.
Bring rice vinegar, water (60-120 ml / ¼-½ cup, depending how sharp you like your pickles), sugar and salt to a gentle boil.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the daikon. The pickles can be eaten straight away, but they are worth making a day in advance as their flavour develops with time. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge.
DRESSING
Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together in a medium size bowl.
ASSEMBLY
Heat up 2 tsp of oil in a medium non-stick pan. Throw in the mushrooms and fry them gently until they are nicely browned on all sides. Season with salt and pepper once fried so that the mushrooms don’t release too much water during frying.
Remove the mushrooms from the pan, throw in the spinach and a splash of water. Cook on a low heat, stirring from time to time, until the spinach wilts and most of the excess water cooks out. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide all the veggies and cooked tofu between two bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and top with the Gochujang dressing.
