Source of Recipe


Neil


List of Ingredients




1 pound spinach
1-1/2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sake
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Recipe





1. Rinse spinach and trim off tough ends of stems. Plunge spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
2. Spread out wilted spinach on a cutting board, blot up excess water with a paper towel, and cut spinach into inch-wide ribbons.
3. Toast sesame seeds by heating for a few minute in a dry skillet. Reserve a couple of pinches of sesame seeds for garnish and grind the rest in a mortar. Add sugar and blend with ground sesame. Mix sesame-sugar paste in a bowl with soy sauce, sake and sesame oil. Mix well.
4. Layer clumps of spinach in bowl, basting each layer with some of the sesame dressing. Sprinkle rest of toasted sesame seeds on top.
