Spinach Gomaae Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and blanch for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and gently squeeze out excess water.

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix together the sesame seeds, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and everything is well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, combine the blanched spinach with the sesame dressing. Toss gently to coat the spinach in the dressing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
