How to make it
Cook the rice
Rinse rice and cook according to the package until fluffy; keep warm.
Chef’s note: Short-grain rice gives the bowl a soft, slightly sticky base.
Prepare the colors
Cut carrots into thin matchsticks, slice cucumber and mushrooms, and rinse spinach.
Chef’s note: Separate piles make a colorful final bowl.
Season vegetables
Blanch spinach briefly, drain well and season with a few drops of sesame oil.
Chef’s note: Squeeze moisture from spinach gently.
Sauté in batches
Sauté carrots and mushrooms separately over medium-high heat until tender and lightly golden.
Chef’s note: Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the eggs
Fry eggs to your preferred safe doneness.
Chef’s note: Use pasteurized eggs if serving undercooked yolks.
Build and mix
Divide rice between bowls, arrange vegetables and egg, and serve with gochujang and sesame oil.
Chef’s note: Mix just before eating.
