COOK RICE In a medium pot, combine the rice with 2 1/2 cups salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and simmer until the rice is tender, 28-30 min. Drain any excess liquid.
PREP Wash and dry all produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Mince or grate the garlic.
COOK MUSHROOMS Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the mushrooms and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms turns golden-brown, 7-8 min. Transfer to a plate.
COOK VEGGIES Add the carrots and 1 tbsp water to the same pan. Cook, stirring, until it starts to soften, 1-2 min. Transfer to the same plate. Add the spinach and soy sauce to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the spinach wilts, 1-2 min. Stir in the sesame seeds. Transfer to the same plate.
