  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • 2 bunches of spinach, ends trimmed, washed, with water still clinging to the leaves
    • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
    • 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
    • Pinch of sugar
    • Dash of white-wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

  1. Place the spinach in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over high heat. Watching it carefully, steam it until the spinach has fully wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and press out the excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, sesame oil, sugar, and vinegar. Toss with the spinach until fully coated. Press the spinach into a shallow serving dish. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, if desired. Cover and chill.
