Preparing the ingredients
Cook rice in a steamer or on the stovetop and cool prior to adding to the recipe.
Over medium heat, scramble eggs until fully cooked, approximately 3-4 minutes. Cool prior to adding to the dish.
For stir-fry
Heat oil in a skillet. Saute green onions and ginger in oil till fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add carrot and shredded cabbage and stir-fry 3-4 minutes longer until tender-crisp. Add tofu and stir-fry.
Add chili sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce. Add rice, combine and stir-fry until rice has absorbed the sauce. Turn off heat.
Stir in spinach, sesame seeds, and frozen peas. Let cool down and then add the scrambled egg to the mixture.
If serving immediately hold at 140 degrees until service. Garnish each 8oz spoodle portion with 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers at service.

The name of Korean Bibimbap means “mixed rice,” which is a pretty good description. A bowl is loaded with rice at the bottom and topped with a selection of goodies that are laid out to look like jewels floating on the white rice bed.
Bibimbap is only about a century old, but it derives from Goldongban, a dish involving the same concept (a bowl of rice with vegetables, meat and sauce mixed in), which is far older, emerging sometime during the Joseon Period (14th-16th centuries). Goldongban had a ritualistic, and potluck, component to it. It was eaten on the eve of the lunar new year, allowing people to clear out their pantries at the year’s end, throwing whatever was left over into their rice bowls, tossing it together, and considering it dinner.
