What to try

  1. Season drained spinach after blanching rather than adding oil to the blanching water.

  2. Toss it evenly through japchae with the other seasonings.

  3. Use the gimbap recipe quantity for rice and finishing; extra oil can make the roll greasy.

Make a small adjustment, then check the result before changing the whole batch.
