Add broccoli in one layer and add a little salt. Leave them along for at least 5 minutes, until the side touching the pan gets nice and charred. Remove from heat and set aside. Add olive oil and add mushrooms. Cook down until they are 1/2 the size. Add onions and salt and cook down until they get slightly caramelized. Add garlic until softened. Begin incorporating all the other vegetables: carrots, zucchini, bell peppers until they soften, seasoning with salt along the way. Add a little water if the vegetables begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, and make sure to scrape up all the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add kimchi and cook like you did all the other vegetables until it softens. Add back in the charred broccoli. Add Korean chili powder, gochujang, miso paste, and Korean BBQ marinade. Stir and coat all vegetables evenly with sauce base. Add tomatoes and vegetable stock. Scrape up the bottom of the pan with wooden spoon. Add beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and tofu. Season generously and bring to boil, before lowering to simmer. Simmer for 1 to 2 hours, until chili turns to the desired consistency. Try a spoonful and say "Whut I just made the best chili evar."
