Pork and Veggie Bibimbap with Zucchini, Carrots, and Jasmine Rice

Ingredients

3 cups jasmine rice


6 scallions, thinly sliced with greens and whites separated

1 lb carrots, shaved into ribbons

2 zucchini, halved and cut into thin wedges

2 thumbs ginger, peeled and minced

4 cloves garlic, minced


10 tsp white wine vinegar

2 tbsp sesame oil

4 tsp sriracha

4 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp sugar


2 lb ground pork or beef

vegetable or olive oil


Salt

Pepper

Directions

Prepare rice in rice cooker according to your appliance's instructions. Leave on Keep Warm.

In a small bowl, combine scallion whites, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve. In a separate small bowl, combine sesame oil, half the soy sauce, up to half the sriracha, and sugar. Stir until sugar has dissolved.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add carrot ribbons; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and tender, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside with carrots.

Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add pork, ginger, and garlic. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Add remaining soy sauce and cook, stirring, until liquid has mostly evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper; divide between bowls. Arrange pork and veggies on top. Top with pickled scallion whites (and pickling liquid). Drizzle with sauce and remaining sriracha to taste. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.
