Marinated spinach

We all know that spinach is high in iron, vitamins and antioxidants. But it tends to leave a funny after taste like there's something that got stuck on the teeth. Here's a simple spinach recipe that's easy and tasty, without the funny after taste like there's something stuck on your teeth. This marinated spinach is often served as a side dish in Korean restaurants.


Ingredients:
1 lb of organic spinach (I always get organic spinach as conventional spinach has a lot of pesticides)

1/4 tsp of toasted sesame seeds

Sauce:
3 tsp of soy sauce
2 tsp of brown sugar
1 tsp of sesame oil

Note: only 2 teaspoons of the sauce is needed.

Steps:

1. Blanch spinach in boiling water and take it out as soon as it is wilted
2. Run the spinach in a strainer under cold water
3. Take a handful of spinach at a time and squeeze the excess water out
4. Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. If the sugar is not dissolved, warm the sauce until the sugar is dissolved
5. Mix the spinach, 2 teaspoons of the sauce and sesame seeds
6. You are done!

This takes 10 minutes to take and it's incredibly delicious. I made it for a potluck once and everyone was raving about it!
