How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Cook the rice according to instructions and keep warm.
- Sauté each vegetable separately: in a pan with 1 teaspoon of oil, sauté carrots for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender, then set aside; repeat with zucchini until it softens; sauté mushrooms until golden brown and fragrant, then set aside; blanch spinach for 1 minute, drain, and toss with a pinch of sesame oil and salt.
- Prepare two eggs: fry them sunny side up for a runny yolk, or cook to your preferred doneness.
- Heat the gochujang sauce with 1 tablespoon of water and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce to thin it if necessary.
- In a large bowl, create a bed of rice, arrange the vegetables in sections (carrot, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms) on top, place the fried egg in the center, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Before eating, mix everything with the gochujang sauce to taste, ensuring all flavors are well integrated. Adjust with soy sauce for additional saltiness if desired.
