Before starting, wash and dry all produce. 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 the pan is 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 toasted 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 the pan is 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.
Reheat the same pan over medium-high.When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then plant-based protein.
