Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 lb spinach, well washed and large stems removed
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons mirin
Preparation
Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet until lightly colored. Cool. Add the spinach to a large saucepan of boiling water and cook 2 to 3 minutes until wilted. Have an ice bath ready. Drain the spinach in a colander, shock in the ice bath (to retain color of spinach), then drain again. Squeeze dry and place in a bowl. Mix the cooked spinach with the soy sauce, mirin and sesame seeds. Serve at room temperature.
