Ingredients
- Japanese spinach (200g)
Dressing:
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
1. Blanch Japanese spinach for 1-1.5 minutes (Watch more on YouTube). Allow the spinach to cool in an ice bath or under the faucet. Tightly squeeze out the excess moisture and chop into bite-sized pieces.
2. Grind the toasted sesame seeds until they reach a wet-sand-like consistency. Into the same bowl add sugar and soy sauce, then mix.
3. Add the blanched spinach (Step 1) into the dressing (Step 2). Toss to coat. Transfer to a plate. Ready to be enjoyed.
Miwa’s tips
- Feel free to change up the vegetables. Green beans, carrots, and bok choy would be great options.
- Ensure the sesame seeds are well-toasted and ground.
Storage
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
