In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, sesame oil, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and soy sauce until smooth. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the carrots and zucchini for about 3–4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
If using beef, cook the sliced beef in the skillet until browned and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. For tofu, sauté until golden on all sides.
In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.
In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked rice at the bottom.
Arrange the sautéed vegetables (spinach, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and bean sprouts) and cooked beef or tofu on top of the rice.
Place a fried egg on top of the vegetables.
Drizzle the gochujang sauce over the top and add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil.
Serve immediately, allowing everyone to mix their bibimbap together before eating.
