Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb spinach leaves (You can substitute mustard or any other form of bitter greens)
1/2 cup Dashi (Fish stock)
1 1/2 T soy sauce
1 T sesame oil
Dried Bonito flakes (this is a dried, flaked, white fish which can be found in most Asian markets)

Steps:

  • 1. Parboil spinach in lightly salted water until just tender (about 1 minute), place in colander and rinse with cold water. (Yes, you can use frozen spinach provided you don't over-steam it.) 2. Squeeze out any remaining water by pressing leaves against the bottom of the colander until the lump of spinach takes the shape of the colander. 3. Remove spinach from colander and cut length-wise and width-wise into approximately 1 inch squares. 4. Make Dashi by adding 1/2 Tsp of dashi granules to 1/2 cup of boiling water. Or add 1/8 cup of the bonito flakes to 1/2 cup boiling water 5. Mix the Dashi, sesame oil, and soy sauce together in a small bowl to complete the dressing. 6. Pour dressing over the spinach and mix thoroughly. 7. Sprinkle with bonito flakes and/or toasted sesame seeds.
