Bap
means rice. In this recipe, we’ll use steamed cauliflower to create a ricelike dish. In a saucepan over medium heat, place ½ inch water, add the cauliflower florets, cover, and let steam for 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and let cool. Place in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower has a ricelike texture.

In the same way you steamed the cauliflower, lightly steam the zucchini for 2 minutes so it still has crunch. Drain and set aside on a flat tray. Then lightly steam the spinach in the same fashion for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside on the same tray. With kitchen scissors, cut the nori into 3-inch strips and set aside on the same tray. Add the sliced cucumber to the tray.

If using tofu, slice into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Heat 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil and the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté for about 3 minutes on each side until slightly golden.

If using eggs, scramble the eggs in a bowl. Heat a little grape seed oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat and pour the eggs into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring once or twice, and remove from the heat.

Divide the cauliflower “rice” among 4 bowls. Arrange the vegetables on top and drizzle with tamari.

Divide the tofu or egg equally among the 4 bowls, then add the nori and sesame seeds.

Drizzle with chili sauce and the remaining sesame oil, if desired. Garnish with scallions and 1 to 2 tablespoons of kimchi and serve.
