Let’s make it.

Cook rinsed rice with water according to package; stir in half the sesame oil and cool only until comfortable to handle.
Blanch spinach and squeeze dry; sauté carrots in neutral oil until tender.
Beat eggs, cook as a thin omelet until fully set and 71°C, then slice into strips.
Spread rice thinly on seaweed, add fillings and roll firmly; brush with remaining sesame oil and slice. Serve promptly.
