Boiled spinach with sesame sauce
Recipe for 4
Ingredients
*spinach 4 bunches
*Japanese noodle soup sauce (mentsuyu)2-3 table spoons
*grinded sesame 1 small package
~if you do not have mentsuyu, you can substitute it with soya sauce and mirin (Japanese sweet sake, 2 table spoons each)~
Instructions
1. wash the spinach carefully, wash off sand
2. cut them into eatable pieces and boil them till they become soft
3. Once become soft, take them out and pour cold water on them.
4. squeeze out water out of the spinach (make sure you take little bit of spinach and squeeze them tightly so that there is almost any water left inside of the spinach)
5. marinate the spinach with 2-3 table spoons of men tsuyu and grinded sesame
It is hard to eat a lot of veggies when it is raw (ex. salad) but it becomes so much easier once we boil them.
