Ingredients

For the Blanched Spinach:

  • 1 lb (450 grams) fresh spinach, washed and trimmed

For the Ginger Sesame Soy Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional, for balance)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional, for added texture and flavor)

Direction

  1. Prepare the Spinach:

    • Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
  2. Blanch the Spinach:

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
    • Add the spinach and blanch for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the spinach is bright green and wilted.
    • Immediately remove the spinach from the boiling water and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve its color.
  3. Drain and Squeeze Water:

    • Once the spinach has cooled, drain it and gently squeeze out excess water.
    • Roughly chop the spinach into bite-sized pieces (optional, depending on preference).
  4. Prepare the Ginger Sesame Soy Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and sugar until well combined.
  5. Combine the Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, toss the blanched spinach with the prepared ginger sesame soy sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Add Sesame Seeds (Optional):

    • If using toasted sesame seeds, sprinkle them on top of the spinach mixture and mix lightly.
  7. Taste and Adjust Seasoning:

    • Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary (adding a splash more soy sauce, sesame oil, or sugar as desired).
  8. Serve:

    • Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish.
