Directions

  1. Gently squeeze the cooked greens to get rid of most of their water. If the leaves are large, chop them 3 or 4 times to make them easier to eat.
  2. Mix the sesame oil, 1 T. of the soy sauce and the sesame seeds. Add to the squeezed spinach and toss. Taste and add the additional 1 teaspoons soy sauce to taste, if necessary.
  3. Chill before serving.
