Excellent, nutritious, and filling! I made 1/4th of this recipe, and used garlic powder instead of fresh garlic, but that's about the only thing I altered in the recipe. The secret is in grinding the spices finely and mincing the ginger and tomato so that you have an evenly spiced "base" for the spinach. This sauce was wonderful over cooked rice noodles. Thanks!
