Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Usually involves rinsing, boiling, and simmering for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces and toss with olive oil and salt.
  3. Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice. Adjust consistency with water if necessary.
  5. Combine the slightly cooled rice with the roasted vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing and toss to coat.
  6. Serve immediately garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
