Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Heat Guide for Step 1 (dbl for 4 ppl):• Medium: 1 tsp. • Spicy: 2 tsp • Extra-spicy: 3 tsp
Bring 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a boil in a covered medium pot. While water comes to a boil, thinly slice mushrooms. Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch strips. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch half-moons. Thinly slice green onions. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Stir together half the honey, half the soy sauce and 2 tsp gochujang in a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference Heat Guide.)
Add rice to the pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-18 min.
While rice cooks, add zucchini, peppers and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven until tender-crisp, 8-10 min.
While veggies roast, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add the sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
Heat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until golden-brown, 5-6 min. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Remove pan from heat, then add remaining soy sauce and remaining honey. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir half the sesame seeds into the small bowl with spicy sauce. Sprinkle remaining sesame seeds over veggies. Fluff rice with a fork, then season with salt and stir in half the green onions. Divide rice between bowls, then top with mushroom "bulgogi" and veggies. Drizzle with spicy sesame sauce and sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
