Seasoned Spinach
Sigeumchi Namul
Prep: 5 min | Cook: 5 min | Total: 10 min | Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb (1 large bunch) Spinach (fresh)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add spinach and blanch for 30-40 seconds — just until wilted. Do not overcook.
- Immediately drain and plunge into ice water (or rinse under cold running water) to stop the cooking and lock in the bright green color.
- Squeeze the spinach with your hands to remove as much water as possible. Form it into a ball and squeeze again. This is important — watery spinach dilutes the seasoning.
- Place in a bowl. Add sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and sesame seeds. Toss gently with your hands until evenly coated. Serve at room temperature.
