Sigeumchi Namul (Korean Seasoned Spinach)

Ingredients

• •1 lb fresh spinach
• •1 clove garlic, finely minced
• •1 tbsp soy sauce
• •2 tsp sesame oil
• •1 green onion, finely sliced
• •2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1. 1Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds until just wilted.
2. 2Transfer the spinach immediately to cold water, then drain it thoroughly.
3. 3Squeeze out excess moisture and cut the spinach into shorter lengths.
4. 4Mix garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, and sesame seeds in a bowl.
5. 5Add the spinach and massage the seasoning gently through the leaves.
6. 6Serve at room temperature or chilled.

💡 Squeeze the spinach firmly after blanching; excess water dilutes the sesame-soy seasoning and makes the banchan taste flat.
