Instructions
- 1
Bring a pot or large pan of water to boil, with a little salt added. Add spinach to boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Take the spinach out as soon as it starts to wilt a little – don’t wait until it’s completely wilted – and shock it in a bowl of cold water filled with ice.

Take the spinach out of the water and squeeze out as much water as you can without pressing too hard on the spinach. Roughly chop it, squeeze out a bit more water and gently separate the leaves.

Put the spinach in a bowl and add soy, mirin, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Mix well and serve.
