From Nora Pouillon, this salad pairs beautifully with grilled shrimp, seared tuna or other fish or seafood. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
1 lb spinach, well washed and large stems removed |
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 1/2 tablespoons mirin |
Directions:
1. Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet until lightly colored. Cool.
2. Add the spinach to a large saucepan of boiling water and cook 2 to 3 minutes until wilted.
3. Have an ice bath ready.
4. Drain the spinach in a colander, shock in the ice bath (to retain color of spinach), then drain again.
5. Squeeze dry and place in a bowl.
6. Mix the cooked spinach with the soy sauce, mirin and sesame seeds.
7. Serve at room temperature.
