It is a very common recipe that you will find in most Japanese restaurants and few ingredients are needed to prepare it. The flavors are delicate, clean and perfectly balanced.

Level: Easy
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 bag Pre-washed spinach, 6-8 ounce bag
- 1 teaspoon Soya sauce
- ½ teaspoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Bring a pot or large pot of water to a boil, with a little salt added. Once boiling, add the spinach and cook for one minute. Take the spinach out of the water as soon as it starts to soften a bit (don’t wait until it’s completely softened). Shock it in a bowl of cold water and ice (this prevents it from cooking).
Remove the spinach from the ice water and squeeze out as much water as you can without pressing too hard on the spinach. You will end up with a ball the size of your hand. Roughly chop it, squeeze out some more water and gently separate the leaves.
Put the spinach leaves in a bowl and add the soybeans, mirin, sesame seeds and sesame oil. Mix well and serve.
