Korean spinach salad dish | Sigeumchi Namul banchan

(Recipe adapted from My Korean Kitchen, with some minor changes)

Serves: 8 servings as a side dish

Ingredients:
460g fresh spinach
2 tsp ground salt – to add to the water
10 cups of water to boil

Seasoning sauce:
2 tsp finely chopped spring onion/scallion
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp roasted sesame seeds
½ tsp ground salt
2 Tbsp sesame oil

Method:

1. Trim the spinach roots and wash the spinach in cold water thoroughly. (I trim the spinach roots at the step no.5 before cutting it into pieces)

2. Boil the water in a pot/sauce pan for 5 to 7 mins. Add the salt (2 tsp). Once the water starts to boil, plunge the spinach into the pot and leave it for 30 seconds. （Please adjust the time accordingly depends on amount of the spinach)
3. Drain the boiled water away and run cold water on the spinach for 1-2 minutes.

4. Squeeze the spinach to remove excess water.

5. Cut the spinach into 2-3 pieces with a knife. 

6. Add the seasoning sauce and mix well with your hands.

7. Serve it on a plate and enjoy.

Note: The yield for this recipe is about 350grams, and this spinach salad is also well suited to accompany Bibimbap.
