Fill a medium saucepan with 5 cups of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and stir.
Crack each of the 4 eggs into separate small bowls or ramekins to ensure no shell bits remain.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring with a spoon. Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool and cook it for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Peel and mince 2 garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of ginger. Thinly slice 1 cup of shiitake mushrooms and 2 stalks of green onions. Julienne 1 medium carrot.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shiitake mushrooms and carrot to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Add 4 cups of spinach leaves to the skillet and toss until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili flakes, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Divide the sautéed vegetables evenly onto two plates to create an Asiatic bed.
Top each plate with two poached eggs and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
