INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Make a small tear at the top of the brown rice bag and microwave bag for 1 minute. Transfer rice to a medium bowl to cool. Add hemp seeds and stir.
Add beet and 2 tsp vegetable oil to a baking sheet, toss to coat, and roast until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss roasted beets with just 1 tbsp gochujang. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp vegetable oil, 2 tbsp gochujang) TIP: Beets can stain your hands and cutting board, so handle with care!
Add remaining gochujang and mayo to a small bowl and whisk the gochujang aioli.
Heat just 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add baby bok choy and cook until browned in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp sesame oil) TIP: We will use this skillet again in the next step.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add remaining sesame oil. Add rice, press into an even layer, and cook until bottom begins to crackle and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. TIP: Let the rice cook undisturbed to help it crisp.
Leave the crispy rice in the skillet, and top with gochujang roasted beets, sesame bok choy, carrot ribbons, and kimchi. Dollop with gochujang aioli. Sprinkle with scallion. Serve the Korean bibimbap family style. Enjoy!
