I made this last night to go with Asian Marinated Tuna and rice. Very good. I did change it a little. I washed the spinach (shook most of the water out) and in the meantime I has sauteed 1 large clove of garlic (minced) and some thinly sliced onions (love garlic in Asian cooking...any cooking). Then I added the spinach and let it wilt for about 3 minutes and added the sauce and let it warm for a few minutes and then sprinkled with a few more sesame seeds toasted. Very very good. Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup tag game 2009.
