Beat the egg with a pinch of salt, cook it in a thin layer over low heat, cool it, and cut it into short strips. Cut the carrot into thin matchsticks and cook it for 1 minute at medium heat. Pull the imitation crab apart along its fibers. Blanch the spinach in salted boiling water for 30 seconds, rinse it immediately in cold water, and squeeze out the water. Mix the warm rice with 1 tsp sesame oil and a little salt, using the edge of a rice paddle rather than pressing the grains. Place the rice in a bowl and arrange the egg, carrot, spinach, and imitation crab in separate sections. Mix the toppings with the rice just before eating. Seaweed, pickled radish, and fish cake are not included in this recipe's ingredient list.
