Vegan Korean Bibimbap (Mixed Rice Bowl) with Gochujang Sauce

Bibimbap is one of my go-to’s whenever I’m in a Korean restaurant. It’s really easy to veganize and is full of so much veggies and flavour!

Check out my video to see how I put my bibimbap bowl together, along with vegan kimchi and other banchan (Korean side dishes):

[mv_video doNotAutoplayNorOptimizePlacement=”false” doNotOptimizePlacement=”false” jsonLd=”true” key=”itk4ikwpq25vtovckue7″ ratio=”16:9″ thumbnail=”https://mediavine-res.cloudinary.com/v1603894456/negtaxy6ncjnjnnadx2t.jpg” title=”Easy Vegan Kimchi” volume=”70″]

Enjoy your bibimbap!

I especially love the gochujang sauce because of the additional spice and how it brings the whole dish together. Mix everything together, and enjoy!

In restaurants, they also serve it as ‘Dolsot Bibimbap’, dolsot meaning stone pot, where there bibimbap is served in a sizzling hot bowl.

The rice is cooked in the stone bowl with sesame oil so it created a really crisp and toasted crust on the rice!

So if you have a stone bowl, you can also of course to cook it in one. OR you can also toast the rice on a regular non-stick pan with some sesame oil, which I love to do.

For my bibimbap toppings, I added my homemade vegan kimchi, korean beansprout salad (kongnamul), and spinach (sigumchinamul).

I also added some sautéed zucchini, carrots, and mushrooms. You can also of course use whatever veggies, mushrooms, and tofu.

It’s totally up to you!

I like to make a big batch of sautéed veggies and the gochujang sauce to store it in the refrigerator for upcoming bibimbap bowls throughout the week. It’s a really filling and satisfying meal in itself.

I did also recently enjoy my bibimbap with a vegan “egg”!

It just really adds to that visual and texture since bibimbap is commonly enjoyed with egg, too!

Check it out:

Here’s a close-up shot of that ” egg yolk” too.

Anyway, you can find the vegan egg recipe here, or the video down below!

So I hope you enjoy making this bibimbap! 🙂 Find the recipe and steps below!

Vegan Korean Bibimbap (Mixed Rice Bowl) with Gochujang Sauce

5 from 2 votes
Bibimbap is one of my go-to’s whenever I’m in a Korean restaurant because of how easily it can be made vegan yet still packed full of flavour. It’s a Korean mixed rice bowl, which usually contains a lot of different veggies, all coated in the really umami and spicy gochujang sauce.
I also topped mine with a vegan fried "egg"!
