1
Wash the Spinach
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
2
Steam the Spinach
Place the washed spinach in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 3-5 minutes until wilted but still bright green. Remove from heat.
3
Drain and Cool
Transfer the steamed spinach to a bowl and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess water and set aside.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
5
Add Sesame Seeds
Stir in the roasted sesame seeds to the sauce mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

6
Plate the Dish
Place the drained spinach on a serving plate or bowl.
7
Top with Sauce
Drizzle the prepared sesame sauce over the spinach generously.
8
Garnish and Serve
Optionally, sprinkle a few extra roasted sesame seeds on top for garnish. Serve immediately.
