This is hands down my favorite meal to make! The prep takes a bit of time but it's so worth it. I meal prep the veggies on Sunday and enjoy bibimbap all week. The crispy tofu is essential!

Beautiful and delicious! I couldn't find gochujang so I made a substitute with sriracha, miso, and a bit of sugar - worked great! The variety of textures is what makes this dish so special.
