I love the savory, hot and sweet flavors all blended together! The assorted veggies and the endless variations to this dish at my favorite. Traditional versions are usually made with beef + egg but I subbed tofu + egg!
I sautéed the bean sprouts, carrots, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms and tofu cubes separately in sesame oil. After, I added it all together in a bowl with rice, drizzled with a gochujang sauce on top!
This has been one of my go-to dishes to order at Korean restaurants – packed with veggies and has a delicious blend of spicy, savory and sweet!
