Cooking Steps
- Add farro, 1 tsp (2 tsp) salt and 3 cups (6 cups) water to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered, until farro is tender, 18-20 min.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on sesame seeds so they don't burn!)
- Remove from heat. Transfer sesame seeds to a plate.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then cut carrot into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Add mayo, half the gochujang, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine. (NOTE: This is your gochujang mayo.)
- Combine vinegar, half the soy sauce, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil in another small bowl. (NOTE: This is your dressing.)
- Heat the same pan (from step 1) over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then carrots and zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp and lightly charred, 3-4 min.
- Remove from heat, then transfer veggies to a plate. Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Drain farro, then return to the same pot, off heat.
- Add dressing, spinach and half the crispy shallots. Stir to combine, then cover and set aside.
- Heat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then plant-based protein. Cook, breaking up protein into bite-sized pieces, until lightly crispy, 4-5 min.**
- Add sesame seeds, garlic, remaining soy sauce, remaining gochujang and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add veggies. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.
- Divide farro and plant-based protein mixture between bowls.
- Drizzle gochujang mayo over top.
- Sprinkle with remaining crispy shallots.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the dish's taste, though some found it too salty; several suggested adding more vegetables for variety.
- Ease of prep: Instructions were unclear for some, particularly regarding when to add spinach; cooking farro took longer than stated for some.
- Suggestions: Consider using tofu or legumes instead of plant-based protein; add onions to sautéed veggies for extra flavor.
- Portions: Some found the farro portions small when divided among four people; others wished for more vegetables overall.
- Texture: The farro was well-received, but some found the plant-based protein's texture unappealing with the dish's flavors.
