Korean Spinach Side Dish (Sigeumchi-namul)

Step 1

Cut the stems of the spinach off and rinse thoroughly. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanche the spinach for 40-60 seconds (until the stems are no longer tough). If using baby spinach, blanch for around 30-50 seconds.

Step 2

Quickly drain the spinach into a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out as much excess liquid from the spinach, then cut the ball of spinach in half.

Step 3

Combine the rest of the ingredients together into a bowl and whisk until combined. Using your hands, mix the spinach with the prepared sauce.

Step 4

Transfer to serving bowl and enjoy!
