Korean food is all about side dishes! Here’s a lightly seasoned spinach dish that I’m rather partial to eat!
Sesame Seasoned Spinach! SSS! Like the KKK but fortified with iron?
Ingredients:
1 bunch thingie of spinach
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame seed oil
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of korean red pepper flakes (if using crushed red pepper, just use a dash or 2)
The Korean red pepper flakes are actually kinda sweet. It’s a sweet heat, not a hot hot burninating heat. So if you are only going to use normal crushed red peppers, definitely use less. (: Less is more!
Of course, wash and clip off the dead ends of zee spinach! (:
First, the sauce!
Grab a large mixing bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of korean red pepper flakes
Throw the spinach into a pot of boiling water. It’s okay to pile it on there. (: You can fold it into the water.
Like so!
It should only take about 2 or 3 minutes for the spinach to be ready. Any longer and they become too mushy.
Once it looks like this, turn off the heat and take the sukka out of the water!
Rinse in cold water!
Drain!
Swish and mix it around in the sauce.
Plate and sprinkle a little sesame seeds on that mofo!
Such a great leetle side dish full of vitamin yum!
