Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch spinach, stems discarded (300g)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1–2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Cut the stems of the spinach off and rinse thoroughly. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanche the spinach for 40-60 seconds (until the stems are no longer tough). If using baby spinach, blanch for around 30-50 seconds.
- Quickly drain the spinach into a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out as much excess liquid from the spinach, then cut the ball of spinach in half.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients together into a bowl and whisk until combined. Using your hands, mix the spinach with the prepared sauce.
- Transfer to serving bowl and enjoy!
Notes
- Garlic: Start with 1 garlic clove. I tend to use 2 because my family and I love the spicy flavour of garlic.
- Gluten free option: Use gluten-free soy sauce/tamari.
- Storage: Place in a air tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
