Chinese Marinated Spinach 中式涼拌菠菜

Spinach is inexpensive and nutritious so I cook it quite often. This recipe is one of them. It makes a wonderful side dish in summer time, accompanying a bowl of steamed rice. The seasoning below is just a guideline; adjust it if needed.

INGREDIENST:

A bundle of Spinach

4 tablespoons Soy Sauce

2 tablespoons Mirin

2 tablespoons Sesame Oil

1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds

DIRECTION:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add Spinach in a few batches. Boil until the spinach just wilted; about 1 minute. Submerge the spinach in the cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. Squeeze out the excess water from the spinach in a few batches. Place it in a mixing bowl.

3. Add the remaining ingredients. With hand, Mix until the spinach is coated with the sauce. It is ready. Serve it with steamed rice.
