Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Toast sesame seeds in dry saute pan over high heat. Stir constantly. Remove from pan quickly when seeds are medium brown and you hear a lot of cracking. Grind with mortar and pestle or in small food processor. Grinding breaks the hull and makes the nutrients accessible for digestion.
  2. Rinse spinach well. Steam until bright green, or as done as you like.
  3. Drain and rinse under cold water. Gather up leaves and squeeze as much liquid out as you can.
  4. Toss with sesame seeds, sugar, and soy sauce. Alter amounts of seasoning to suit your taste.
  5. Also good with kumquat zest!
  6. Use the liquid for some other cooking if you can, as it has nutrients in it as well. One suggestion is to use it as the liquid for miso soup.
