This dish takes its name from the Korean word for mixing rice. Which is exactly what you’re meant to do after serving it: put your rice in a bowl, add the toppings, and mix it all together so that those flavors and textures combine in a glorious mishmash. There are plenty of flavors and textures going on here, too, like sweet carrot, juicy zucchini, and pork tossed with garlic, ginger, and soy.

In a small bowl, combine scallion whites, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve. In a separate small bowl, combine sesame oil, half the sriracha, 1 TBSP soy sauce, 1 1/2 TBSP sugar, and 1 TBSP water until sugar has dissolved.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add carrot ribbons; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and tender, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside with carrots.
