Submitted by Luschka

"Ainsley says that this recipe is inspired by Japan and that it goes well with fried or oily dishes as it's clean and fresh tasting. Cooking time is cooling time."

• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 350 g spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon pickled ginger

1. Wash the spinach well, then cram into a large pan, cover with a tight fitting lid and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until evenly wilted.

This is clean and fresh - so easy to make but something different from a typical spinach salad. I chilled it overnight with the ginger and soy and it had lots of flavor. Thanks for a great recipe! Made for Photo Tag.
