  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the vegan bulgogi

Instructions

  1. Mix together all the ingredients for the bulgogi sauce in a small bowl and set it aside. 
  2. In a skillet, add the impossible ground without any oil and cook until most of the grounds are no longer pink. 
  3. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and white part of the green onion. Cook with frequent stirring until onion is slightly translucent. 
  4. Add the sauce to the mixture and stir to mix everything. 
  5. Once the sauce starts to bubble, add the grated carrots and green part of the green onion. Continue to cook until most of the sauce is absorbed. 
  6. Remove it from the heat and garnish it with toasted sesame seeds. 
  7. Assemble the buddha bowl. In a bowl, add the cooked quinoa, half of the vegan bulgogi grounds, cucumber, and cooked edamame. If you are a vegetarian, top the bowl with a fried egg.
