Cut the pickles into small pieces as well (should make about 2 cups) and add to to the bowl. If you bought a whole rotisserie chicken, take all the meat off the bones and shred the chicken with your hands (it's a bit messy but its worth it!).

Add the chopped onions into the water and rice. Add a pinch of salt. Let the rice simmer for 30-40 minutes. (Optional- when the rice is done put a tsp. of sesame oil in the rice). Next, cut the stems off portobello mushrooms. Slice the mushrooms in long narrow pieces. Mix the pieces mushrooms with 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of hoisin sauce and the diced garlic. Rinse and chop up the fresh spinach (remember->use a lot of spinach b/c it'll shrink when it is being cooked!) Add 2 tbsp. of olive oil and turn on the stove on medium heat. Add the mushrooms to the pan. Let it simmer for 10 minutes (until it shrivels up). Then add the spinach.
