Since we have been receiving a lot of spinach in our farm share this month, you may be looking for a new way to prepare it. Here's a Korean recipe for spinach that is sometimes served as a side dish with Korean BBQ. It was introduced to me by my fiancé, and everyone I've made it for has loved it.
Ingredients:
1 pound spinach (this may seem like a lot but it really shrinks when it cooks down)
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp kikkoman low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp sugar
Directions:
Mix sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and green onions. Set aside.
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 10-15 seconds. Remove spinach quickly and plunge it into iced or very cold water to stop the cooking and chill the spinach. Firmly squeeze the spinach to remove most of the water and add the marinade. Try to get it pretty dry so that it can absorb the marinade and not get too soggy. If it's a bit soggy after sitting in the marinade for a while, you can always squeeze it out again. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve chilled.
Note: It's best if you can make this ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to absorb the marinade. Can be made up to a day in advance.
