Sesame Spinach

When she says one POUND of spinach, she isn't kidding. If you're going the baby spinach route, like I did, purchase a bit more than what you think is a pound. It cooks down,and you'll want A LOT of this. Tasted exactly like the banchan you get at any korean bbq in k-town, los angeles. PERFECT!

Excellent! I washed the spinach and stir-fried it, without oil, in my wok with just the residual water on the leaves to steam/stir-fry them. I drained the water by tipping the wok over the sink and using the back of a wooden spoon to press the leaves. Also, I left out the garlic and onions and decreased the sesame oil to 1 tsp. (a little of that goes a long way for our tastes). This was SO good....my husband says it reminds him of one of his favorite Japanese dishes, Goma Ae (a good thing). Thanks for posting this recipe jelisa, it's a new favorite for us.

We loved this! What a nice change from my normal way of fixing spinach. Low sodium soy sauce works fine and even frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) works great too!

Jelisa, girl, this was GOOD! As I ate, I kept thinking of different ways to eat the sauce. It would be really good with eggrolls instead of Duck Sauce or plain soy sauce. Or those Pan Fried dumplings. Or as a marinade for chicken. The possiblities are endless! I even thought about adding a little bit of minced ginger, YUM! Thanks for posting this. My tummy is full and my mind is working overtime!

Delicious. For some odd reason I wasn't in the mood for garlic, so I left it out. I'll be making this again: its quick and easy, and just a great summer dish. I like that it's not served hot. There was a LOT of sauce. After the spinach sat in it for a little while, I fished it out before I served it.

Combining some of my favorite ingredients ( sesame oil, seeds and fresh spinach), I thhink this is delicious and easy. I didn't weigh the spinach from our garden, just used a three quart saucepan, stuffed with spinach leaves and it worked great. After rinsing, I drained the leaves in a colander, smashing them down tightly with a masher and they drained well.

This is great! Mine was a tad too sweet, but since I didn't measure, it was probably my fault. This is very similar to the traditional Korean dish. We had this with Dwenjang chigae and kimchi, and it was fabulous! Thanks!

This would be a great side dish for all my tofu/rice recipes, but I thought the sauce was a bit overpowering. If I make it again, I'll probably halve it. Thanks for sharing!

Very good! The sauce was easy and very flavorful. We had this with kimchi and bulgogi. Used a bag of spinach and so I halved the sauce and it was perfect!

This is so so good! My only complaint is that it didn't make enough. I wanted more! Next time I will double.... maybe triple the recipe.

I've been meaning to review this for some time. We eat this about twice a month now and it's fantastic. I do sautee the spinach in a little olive oil instead of boiling it though, and I also use a little less soy sauce.

This is such a yummy addition to tonight's meal. I used frozen spinach and brown sugar. Cooked spinach til almost done then drained water off. Added the ingredients listed to the pot and let simmer a few minutes longer. Just wanted the garlic and onion a little less raw. I love this and will make it this way often! Thanks!

I LOVE this recipe! I could eat this stuff by the pound, it is so good. Definitely a GREAT addition to almost any meal. It makes spinach something to be really excited for, which is a hard thing in this house!

Great recipe! I recommend using a white onion and frying it until browned in canola oil, then adding garlic and stirring until browned. Also, you can just saute in the spinach instead of putting it in boiling water.

I liked this alot. Pretty good - & easy too. I didn't really like the raw garlic in the sauce, so I think what I will try next time is to saute the spinach in a pan, slightly cook the garlic & add the sauce to the pan. I am hoping that will also mean I won't have to get my hands wet ringing out the spinach. Thank you very much for this recipe, I will make it again.
