with Sesame Spinach and Seeded Rice

In this dish, a version of a Korean bibimbap (literally translated to “mixed rice”), short grain brown rice gets special treatment in the form of a quick pan-fry in fragrant sesame oil. Don’t be afraid to turn up the heat under the skillet, once you hear it sizzle you know it’s crisping. While the brown rice cooks you’ll have time to prepare the rest of the meal and maybe even clean a bit, or just relax.
