• Using steamer function, steam spinach in rice cooker until tender, about 8 minutes. Remove to a kitchen towel, wring dry and thinly slice into a bowl. Season to taste with sesame oil, rice vinegar and salt. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper and steam until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Break into large flakes. (See Note.)
• Clean out cooker and cook rice according to instructions. When done (or when cooker switches to "warm" function), quickly stir in sliced pepper and kimchi, making sure to scrape and scoop up bottom layer of rice. Smooth top.
• Drizzle 2 teaspoons sesame oil over rice and gently break eggs on top, placing one on each side of cooker. Cover and put cooker on ''cook'' function for 5 minutes.
• Switch cooker to ''warm,'' arrange salmon and spinach next to eggs, cover and let steam just until egg whites are opaque (yolks should be runny). Place a teaspoon of chile paste in center.
• At table, stir dish together. (A toasty crust may have formed on bottom of rice cooker: scrape this up and mix into dish.) Scoop into serving bowls, sprinkling each with sesame seeds and scallions. Pass sesame oil, rice vinegar and chile paste for seasoning.

BIBIMBAP (KOREAN RICE WITH MIXED VEGETABLES)

Steps:

• Stir cucumber pieces with 1/4 cup gochujang paste in a bowl; set aside.
• Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet and stir in spinach; cook until spinach is bright green and wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible; set spinach aside in a bowl and stir soy sauce into spinach.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in large nonstick skillet and cook and stir carrots until softened, about 3 minutes; stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Stir in cucumber pieces with gochujang paste; sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and set the mixture aside in a bowl.
• Brown beef in a clean nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side, and set aside. In a separate nonstick skillet, heat 1 more teaspoon olive oil over medium-low heat and fry the eggs just on one side until yolks are runny but whites are firm, 2 to 4 minutes each.
• To assemble the dish, divide cooked rice into 4 large serving bowls; top with spinach mixture, a few pieces of beef, and cucumber mixture. Place 1 egg atop each serving. Drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a small amount of gochujang paste if desired.
