Description
This easy one-bowl meal has loads of flavor but relies on supermarket ingredients. The key player is gochujang, a Korean hot pepper paste that's available in stores' international aisle (as well as online). The seasoning paste lasts for months in the refrigerator, so you can keep it on hand — and keep the recipe in your weeknight rotation. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Olive Huang.

Directions
- Cook the rice with water according to package instructions. While the rice cooks, continue with the recipe.
- Trim ends off the zucchini. Halve lengthwise, then slice crosswise into pieces about 1/2-inch thick. Rinse and drain the mushrooms and cut into quarters.
- Mince the garlic. Whisk the garlic, gochujang, applesauce, sesame oil, and water together in a small bowl until evenly blended. Add a few drops extra water if needed for a flowing texture.

Absolutely perfect. I could eat this every day, my goodness!

This turned out great! Went off another user's recommendation and used/added kimchi, ginger slices and sweet chili sauce. This combination I will use again and try next with alfalfa sprouts.

Delicious!! Very easy and versatile

Tasty once spiced up! Glad I read reviews saying it needed more flavor. Additional sauce, rice vinegar, and shoyu helped. And I topped with shredded cabbage, radicchio, and scallions. Think would also be great with ginger, kimchi, sweet chili sauce, abd/or pickled veg.
Love the one pan approach.

It was good but nothing special

Needed to season the zucchini and mushrooms more but other than that it was pretty delicious. I used some no soy soy sauce for added flavor

I had to add lime and sweet red chili sauce to make it taste like anything. Once I did that, it was pretty good!

I thought it was very tasty, however, my husband thought it needed more flavor. Next time, I will add a bit of honey and more of the chili sauce.
