Quick and Easy Bibimbap
Bibimbap is one of my favorite Korean dishes. This time instead of preparing each vegetable separately, I cooked the similar texture vegetables together, which saved time and still tasted delicious. I mixed the seasoned vegetables with soba noodles and of course always have some kimchee as a side, that's a must in Korean food.

Add the mushrooms, stirring often, and cook until most of the moisture has been evaporated about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook the soba noodles for 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain and rinse under cold water. Mix with 1 teaspoon of oil and set aside.
Add the carrots, celery, and bell peppers into the skillet, cook until tender-crisp about 3 minutes.
Stir in the bok choy and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves are wilted and stems become soft.
Add the sauce ingredients into the vegetables, stirring, and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes until all the vegetables are well coated.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and cucumber until well mixed.
Add the soda noodles and mix well.
Divide among the serving bowls, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve warm with a fried egg if desired.
