🧂 सामग्री
- 300 g Fresh spinach(Look for fresh, vibrant spinach with no wilting.)
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil(Toasted sesame oil is preferred for its nutty aroma and flavor.)
- 2 cloves Garlic(Finely minced or grated.)

- to taste Salt(To season the spinach after blanching, if needed.)
👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl with cold water and plenty of ice cubes. Set aside.
⏱️ 1 minute - 2
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water if desired (this seasons the spinach slightly as it cooks).
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Add the spinach to the boiling water. Stir gently to ensure all leaves are submerged. Blanch for just 30-60 seconds, until the spinach is bright green and slightly wilted. Do not overcook, or it will become mushy.
⏱️ 1 minute - 4
Immediately transfer the blanched spinach from the boiling water directly into the prepared ice bath using a slotted spoon or colander. This stops the cooking process and preserves the vibrant green color. Let it chill for about 1-2 minutes.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Drain the spinach thoroughly in a colander. Then, working in batches if necessary, gently but firmly squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This is crucial for preventing a watery dish and allowing the seasonings to adhere properly. The spinach should feel quite dry.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Transfer the squeezed spinach to a clean mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Gently toss the spinach with your hands or chopsticks to evenly distribute the seasonings. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed, depending on the saltiness of your soy sauce.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 7
Transfer the seasoned spinach to a serving dish. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds just before serving.
