Blanch the Spinach:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

-
Combine the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the blanched spinach with the prepared ginger sesame soy sauce until evenly coated.
-
Add Sesame Seeds (Optional):
- If using toasted sesame seeds, sprinkle them on top of the spinach mixture and mix lightly.
-
Taste and Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary (adding a splash more soy sauce, sesame oil, or sugar as desired).
-
Serve:
- Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish.
