Prepare to embark on a culinary adventure with this Korean-inspired Tofu Bibimbap Bowl! This dish combines the vibrant flavors of traditional bibimbap with a plant-based twist featuring tofu as the star ingredient. It's a colorful and nutritious meal that's as satisfying as it is delicious. Let's dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup thinly sliced cucumbers
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sesame seeds, for garnish
• Sriracha or gochujang (Korean chili paste), for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Slice the pressed tofu into cubes and place them in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, honey or sugar, salt, and pepper to make the tofu marinade.
2. Pour the marinade over the tofu cubes and toss gently to coat. Let the tofu marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In the same pan, quickly sauté the shredded carrots, thinly sliced cucumbers, bean sprouts, and baby spinach until just tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. To assemble the bibimbap bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Arrange the sautéed vegetables and crispy tofu on top of the rice in separate sections.
6. Garnish the bowls with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.
7. Serve the Tofu Bibimbap Bowls hot, with a side of Sriracha or gochujang for those who like a bit of extra heat.
8. Mix everything together before eating to enjoy all the flavors and textures in one delicious bite!
