The Method

1
Prepare all the vegetables: julienne the carrots and zucchini, blanch the spinach and bean sprouts, slice and sauté the mushrooms. Season each vegetable separately with a little sesame oil and soy sauce (except zucchini).
2
Place the cooked rice evenly in the bottom of a shallow pot or hot pot.
3
Arrange the prepared vegetables artfully on top of the rice, creating separate sections for each vegetable.
4
In a small bowl, mix the gochujang with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and a little water to create a slightly thinned sauce. Taste and adjust the spice level as needed.
5
Pour the gochujang sauce over the vegetables and rice.
6
Add 1-2 cups of water or vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring the rice is partially submerged.
7
Bring the pot to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through and the flavors have melded together.
8
While the hot pot is simmering, fry the eggs sunny-side up.
9
Carefully place a fried egg on top of the vegetables in each serving section.
10
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot. Encourage everyone to mix the ingredients together and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of gochujang sauce to your preferred spice level. You can also add a little sugar or honey to the sauce for sweetness.

Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, or radishes. You can also add tofu or thinly sliced beef for extra protein.

For a vegan version, omit the egg. You can substitute it with marinated tofu or tempeh.

If using a hot pot with a heating element, maintain a gentle simmer throughout the meal.

Serve with banchan (Korean side dishes) like kimchi, pickled radishes, and marinated cucumbers for a complete Korean dining experience.
