Ingredients
- 1 bag pre-washed spinach
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon mirin
Instructions
- Bring a pot or large pan of water to boil, with a little salt added. Add spinach to boiling water and cook for a minute. Take the spinach out as soon as it starts to wilt a little (don’t wait until it’s completely wilted). Shock it in a bowl of cold water and ice (this stops it from cooking).
- Remove the spinach from ice water and squeeze out as much water as you can without pressing too hard on the spinach. You’ll end up with a ball about the size of your hand. Roughly chop it, squeeze out a bit more water and gently separate the leaves.
- Put the spinach in a bowl and add soy, mirin, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Mix well and serve.
