Spinach Namul (Sigumchi Namul)

Categories: Korean, Vegetables, World Cuisine
Contributed by: Barbara ~~no specific source but referenced as a recipe prepared by Friend of Children Everywhere (an adoptive parent support group) for their Asian New Year celebration.

One of our favorites:

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lb spinach
1 TBLS chopped scallion
1 TBLS sesame oil
1 TBLS sesame salt
2 tsp - 1 TBLS soy sauce
speck black pepper
1/8 tsp chopped garlic
salt

DIRECTIONS

Remove roots & separate leaves of spinach. Wash well, cook quickly in deep boiling water. Drain off water and squeeze out. Season with remaining ingredients as needed.

(Note: if you boil too long, you end up with a VERY small amount of spinach! I have made this without the sesame salt and it is still great.)
