• Zucchini - 1 small, julienned
• Spinach - 100 grams, blanched
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine it with 300 ml of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
3. While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms, carrot, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, blanched spinach, gochujang, and chopped green onion. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
6. Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is slightly crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and garnish with nori strips before serving.
