Instructions
Blanch the spinach
- Wash spinach thoroughly without breaking off any stems or leaves.
- Bring water to a full boil then add salt, then the spinach. Blanch until it starts to wilt (no more than 20 seconds).
- Drain and rinse under tap water to cool. Then squeeze out any excess water.
Prepare the dressing
- In a small bowl, mix ginger paste with black rice vinegar, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar.
Assemble the dish
- Cut the blanched spinach crosswise into sections. Place it on a plate. Pour the dressing over then garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
- 1, You may also use regular spinach. In this case, decrease the blanching time to just a few seconds, as it wilts faster than savoy spinach.
- Use a fine grater or a pestle and mortar to make fresh ginger paste. Alternatively, you can use shop-bought, jarred ginger paste.
