• Add rice, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium pot.

• Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.
• Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
• Add mayo and half the gochujang (use all for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with salt, to taste, then stir to combine.

• Pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
• When the pan is hot, add sesame oil, then tofu.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is golden-brown all over, 6-7 min.

• Add carrots, green onion whites and garlic to the pan with tofu.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots soften slightly, 2-3 min.

• Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts and half the liquid is absorbed, 2-3 min.
• Season with pepper.

• Add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter to the pot with rice and corn. Stir until butter melts. Season with pepper, to taste.
• Divide buttered rice and corn between bowls. Top with bulgogi.
• Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
• Dollop with gochujang mayo, if desired.

If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces. Cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef and pork mix, until golden-brown all over, 6-7 min.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
