1
Prepare Spinach
Wash the spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2
Blanch Spinach
Once the water is boiling, add the spinach. Blanch for about 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted but still bright green.
3
Cool Spinach
Immediately transfer the blanched spinach to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let it cool for a few minutes.
4
Drain Spinach
Once cooled, drain the spinach and gently squeeze out excess water. Chop the spinach into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

5
Toast Sesame Seeds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sesame seeds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
6
Mix Dressing Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Combine Spinach and Dressing
In a large bowl, add the chopped spinach. Pour the prepared dressing over the spinach.

Add Sesame Seeds
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the spinach and dressing mixture.

Toss to Combine
Gently toss the spinach, dressing, and sesame seeds together until the spinach is well coated.
