Sesame spinach is much better than it may look at first. I love it because it only consists of four different ingredients and I usually have those in the house. Additionally, it's can be made in minutes and thus does not justify unhealthy snacks if you're looking out for your health.
Ingredients:
serves two (or one hungry person)
- 400g of frozen spinach. Yes, you can also get the fresh stuff. But the frozen version works just fine for this.
- 50g of sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil (the good stuff made from roasted sesame, not "sesame flavored oil")
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
Instructions:
- Thaw spinach.
- Get a pan and roast the sesame seeds.
- Press any excess liquid out of the spinach. This isn't necessary if you are using freshly blanched spinach...
- Put the drained spinach in a bowl and add soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Add roasted sesame seeds. Mix well.
- Done! Enjoy!
This is a great dish for bentos and lunch boxes! You can make it in advance and even freeze portions if you are really busy, but want to bring a healthy lunch.
