Korean bibimbap, a meal-in-a-bowl of rice topped with various vegetables plus meat and/or seafood, then finished with an egg, gave us the idea for these rice bowls. Stir-fried zucchini is tender but almost meaty in texture, and kimchi brings a jolt of spice and garlic. Gochujang, an umami-packed fermented pepper paste and a core ingredient in the Korean kitchen, is a go-to seasoning at Milk Street. It does double duty as the base for the sauce that seasons the zucchini and is drizzled on as a finishing touch. Sticky, pleasantly chewy short-grain rice is best. We like to top each bowl with a runny-yolked fried egg.

Good for riffing
It’s a good quick weeknight recipe and great for riffing off ingredients you may have on hand. I took instructions to mean 1 tablespoon of the brine. I went half zucchini/half cubed firm tofu in the sauce. Added some cubed avocado and a lightly fried egg. I bet crunchy fried onions would have been great as well, but didn’t have any.
