Sesame Spinach

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Use at least 10 to 12 ounces (a pound is even better) of fresh spinach or, for easier preparation, baby spinach. Rinse the spinach (and in the case of regular spinach, trim any large stems). Wilt the leaves in a skillet or stir-fry pan for a minute or so, then stir in a little sesame oil, soy sauce, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

    Step 2
