Marinated Spinach Stems 涼拌菠菜頭


It is a recipe using the unwanted part of the vegetables, limiting the food waste. A lot of people don't know that spinach heads are just like the leaves. They are flavourful and nutritious. By marinating them with a little soy sauce, they become a presentable side dish again.

INGREDIENTS:
Spinach Heads (using the food waste from the Chinese Spinach)
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Mirin
a pinch of Sesame Seeds

DIRECTION:
1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add spinach heads. Boil for about 1 minutes; Drain the water. Immediately run the cold water over the spinach heads to stop the cooking. Drain again.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients. Add spinach heads. Mix again and it is ready. Serve it with steamed rice.
