Mostly raw bibimbop anyone?

Bibimbop is a Korean dish meaning "mixed meal". It's traditionally served in a bowl with warm white rice and topped with namuls (mixed seasoned vegetables) and gochujang, a red chili pepper paste. In most cases, the bowl is then topped with an egg and sliced meat. The dish gets a makeover in this mostly raw vegan adaptation.

The "rice" was made from pulsed cashews and jicama, sprinkled with a touch of red Hawaiian sea salt. Atop of the rice are three namuls:

• mung bean sprouts tossed with raw apple cider vinegar, a touch of toasted sesame oil, agave, garlic, red chili flakes, and scallions);
  
• blanched Bloomsdale spinach tossed with nama shoyu, toasted sesame seeds, a touch of sesame oil, and toasted garlic;
  
• and shiitake mushrooms braised in fresh ginger, mirin, and white pepper.
  

In lieu of a red chili paste, the whole dish was drizzled with gochuchang sauce made of red miso, filtered water, red chili flakes, agave, and cayenne pepper.

Take your chopsticks, mix, and enjoy with abandon!
