Cooking Steps

Cook farro and toast sesame seeds
1
  • 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.
Prep
2
  • 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.
Make sauces
3
  • 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.)
Cook veggies and finish farro
4
  • 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.
Cook plant-based protein
5
  • 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.
