Description

An easy, authentic side dish that can be made ahead. This spinach is flavored with soy and sesame seeds for a great vegetable over rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g Spinach – to use leaves and stem, remove the roots and wash 2-3 times
  • 2 cloves Garlic – minced finely
  • 1 Green Onion – sliced thinly
  • 1.5 tablespoon of Soy Sauce (or Tamari for gluten free option)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon Sesame Seeds – toasted
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Mix minced garlic, green onion, soy sauce and sesame oil in a large bowl.
