There are several components of this dish and you really want to make all or most of them because just like sushi, they all go together in harmony to make for an amazing bite.

Spicy Pickled Carrots: 

10 oz bag of shredded carrots

1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Sauteed Spinach: 

1 (10oz bag) of fresh spinach
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 TBSP olive oil
