Combine the Gochujang paste with the soy sauce, sugar, water, garlic and ginger.
Add 1 rice measuring cup of short grain rice to the inner bowl. Add the sauce mix to the rice and mix in. Top with water to SHORT GRAIN water level 1 line.
Add the vegetables and tofu on top (at this stage for a non-vegan version you can add egg)
Place the lid, select the SHORT GRAIN function and press START.
When cooking is finished season with some white pepper and mix well.
Garnish with spring onions, sesame seeds, sriracha sauce, kimchi and cashews, if desired!
Another tip - this can be made without the vegetables as a rice side dish to any main meal
