Number Of Ingredients 6

2 bunches of spinach, ends trimmed, washed, with water still clinging to the leaves
1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch of sugar
Dash of white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the spinach in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over high heat. Watching it carefully, steam it until the spinach has fully wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and press out the excess moisture.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, sesame oil, sugar, and vinegar. Toss with the spinach until fully coated. Press the spinach into a shallow serving dish. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, if desired. Cover and chill.
