Instructions

1
Blanch the spinach, cool it, squeeze dry, and season with a pinch of salt and a few drops of sesame oil.
2
Sauté the zucchini, carrot, and mushrooms separately with a little oil and salt so each keeps its color and texture.
3
Fry the eggs. Divide rice between bowls and arrange the vegetables and egg on top.
4

Ingredient substitutions

Rice: Medium-grain rice works well. Long-grain rice is usable but gives a drier, looser texture.
Egg: For binding, use a commercial egg replacer or a small starch slurry; the flavor and texture will change.
Spinach: Swiss chard or bok choy works with a different texture.
Zucchini: Yellow summer squash is close.
Carrot: Bell pepper adds color but a different flavor.
