Creating a delicious Bibimbap is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Protein: In a bowl, combine sliced beef (or chicken/tofu) with soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and minced garlic. Allow it to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the protein marinates, julienne the carrot and zucchini. Blanch the spinach and bean sprouts in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and cool.

3. Cook the Protein: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated protein and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the carrots and zucchini separately until tender but still crisp, about 2-3 minutes each. Remove and set aside.

5. Assemble the Dish: In a bowl, add a serving of cooked rice as the base. Arrange the cooked vegetables, sautéed protein, spinach, and bean sprouts on top of the rice in a visually appealing manner.

6. Fry the Egg: In a small non-stick skillet, fry an egg sunny-side up or poach it until the whites are set. Place it on top of the arranged vegetables in the bowl.

7. Add Gochujang Sauce: Drizzle gochujang over the top and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

8. Serve Immediately: Bibimbap is best served hot, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
