Gomae - Japanese Style Spinach Salad image

This is Chef floWers version of Spinach Gomae. It's a side dish I often ordered at my favourite Japanese restaurant (before it closed down.) I found a visual version on you tube and since I couldn't find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com I thought I would add it to Zaar's collection. We all love this salad and my daughter can eat the whole serving (if I let her). I often double the recipe, so she can have extra greens, well it worked for Popeye The Sailor Man. Ayyye

Categories     Spinach

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch salt
pot water, boiling
1 (120 g) packet spinach, washed

Steps:

  • Toast sesame seeds until slightly brown, you will smell the scent of the sesame seeds when it's ready.
  • Reserve small amount of the sesame seed for the garnish.
  • Place the rest on a plate and crush (you could do this in a processor as well), then place in a bowl.
  • Add water, soy, sugar into the bowl with the sesame seed. (If you are using the food processor then add these ingredients into the processor). Set aside until Spinach is ready.
  • To cook the spinach: Add a pinch of salt into a pot of boiling hot water. Mix then add spinach for one minute (ONLY ONE MINUTE or the recipe is ruined).
  • Pour the spinach and water into a colander and run cold tap water to cool down the spinach, this will stop it from cooking more.
  • Squish the spinach with your hands, until all the moister is out of the spinach (you are only left with a small hand full of spinach).
  • Cut spinach into strips (You could skip this part).
  • Place spinach onto serving bowls and drizzle the dressing onto the spinach, then add reserved sesame seed as garnish.
  • Enjoy Chef floWers Gomae - Japanese Style Spinach Salad.

I made this salad exactly as the recipe said, and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sesame seeds.

This was a great way to use up some leftover spinach. I added some crumbled bacon and sliced almonds for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but this salad changed my mind! The dressing was so good that I could have eaten it on its own.
