  • 3 Korean sweet potatoes scrubbed and sliced into 1/3" medallions
  • 4 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 burdock root peeled and shredded
  • 2 carrots peeled and shredded
  • 2 tbsps soy sauce
  • 2 tbsps rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsps water
  • 2 tsps toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsps agave
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 4-8 large romaine lettuce leaves
  • Vegan Gochujang or vegan bibimbap sauce for serving
  • vegan kimchi for serving
  • 2 tbsps toasted sesame seeds mixed colors
  • 1 sheet toasted nori shredded into small pieces
  • 2 scallions green parts only

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Blender
  • Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Peeler
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°.
  2. Toss the sweet potatoes in 2 tablespoons of oil, and spread evenly onto a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Add the shredded burdock root, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then add the burdock to a mixing bowl with the shredded carrots.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, sesame oil, and agave. Use a fork to whisk until blended well. Pour the sauce over the shredded vegetables. Set aside to marinate.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet on medium high heat. Add the Sweet Earth Korean-style BBQ Mindful Chik'n, and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chik'n should be hot, and browning slightly on the edges.
  6. To make the bowl, place 1-2 halved romaine leaves into a bowl. Fill the bowl with a scoop of rice, the roasted sweet potatoes, the marinated carrots and burdock, and the Korean-style BBQ Mindful Chik'n. Top with the bibimbap sauce, sesame seeds, nori, and scallions.

Notes

  • Storage: To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently in the microwave for the best texture.
  • Freezing: You can freeze components separately. Cooked rice and veggies can be stored for up to three months.
  • Pairing: Serve with a side of vegan kimchi or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Ingredient Swap: Feel free to replace the Sweet Earth Chik'n with any plant-based protein of your choice.
  • Serving Fresh: For the best experience, assemble your bowl just before serving.
