Biggest and Best Bibimbap

1. Heat a large (12-inch) heavy cast iron skillet over medium heat. Drizzle the sesame oil into the pan and gently spread the rice in a loose layer.  

2. For the bibimbap sauce: Mix together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and set aside. 

3. For the toppings: Mix together the first 6 ingredients in a small bowl to make the seasoning sauce. Set aside by the stove.  

4. Drizzle ½ teaspoon oil in a medium (9-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the bean sprouts and 1 teaspoon seasoning sauce and sauté until crisp-tender, about 30 seconds. Arrange nicely on the rice.  

5. Cook the remaining toppings in the same manner using the following measurements and times and arranging each on top of the rice: carrots, ½ teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon sauce, until crisp-tender, 30 seconds; courgettes, ½ teaspoon oil, 2 teaspoons sauce, until just tender, about 1 minute; snow peas, ½ teaspoon oil, 2 teaspoons sauce, until crisp-tender, 45 seconds; spinach, 1 teaspoon oil, 1 tablespoon sauce, until just wilted, 30 seconds; mushrooms, 4 teaspoons oil, 1 tablespoon sauce, until tender, 1 minute; beef, 2 teaspoons oil, stir in sugar and remaining sauce, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes, spoon juices over meat on rice.
