1. Fit the Food Processor with the Julienne Disc and secure the lid.

Fit the food processor with the Thin Slicing Disc and secure the lid.

4. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add rinsed bean sprouts and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 2 minutes and drain. Rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Set bean sprouts aside.
5. Heat 1/2 Tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add julienned carrots, and stir fry for 2 minutes or until just soft. Set aside. Repeat this sauté process with the sliced zucchini and then the sliced shiitake mushrooms. Season with salt, if using.

Chef's Note

Although this recipe is vegetarian, Bibimbap can be served with beef and a sunny-side-up egg on top. Get creative with different toppings and garnishes!
"Bowls" are always a fun and tasty way to really pack in the plants and the diverse array of nutrients each one brings. Add some grilled or air-fried tofu to really boost the protein.
Another popular way of serving this dish is in a hot stone pot with browned rice. Simply brush the inside of an earthenware crock with sesame oil and build your Bibimbap in it. Cover with a lid and place on a stovetop over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or just until the rice starts to make crackling noises. Carefully serve immediately with Bibimbap Sauce on the side.
