Add a photoThis is a delicious way to consume large quantities of one of the healthiest foods on the planet...spinach! I came to love this when I lived in Japan from 1991-1992, and make it frequently now because it is so easy, healthful and delicious. Serve this with any Asian dish, or any meat and potatoes. It's not particularly spicy, but is flavorful, and makes a nice complement for spicy and non-spicy main dishes.
Ingredientes
- 1 lb spinach leaves or mustard greens, washed
- 1/2 cup fish stock (dashi)
- 1 1/2 T soy sauce
- Dried Bonito flakes (optional) - Fish flakes that can be purchased in a jar at most Asian supermarkets
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Direcciones
- Parboil spinach in lightly salted water until just tender (about 1 minute), place in colander and rinse with cold water
- Squeeze out any remaining water by pressing leaves against the bottom of the colander. It should take the shape of the colander.
- Remove from colander and cut length-wise and width-wise into approximately 1 inch squares.
- Pour dressing over and sprinkle with bonito flakes and/or toasted sesame seeds.
- Dressing:
- Make Dashi by adding 1/2 Tsp of dashi granules (can be purchased at most Asian supermarkets) to 1/2 cup of boiling water. Or add 1/8 cup of the bonito flakes to 1/2 cup boiling water
- Mix the Dashi and the soy sauce together in a small bowl.

21 de Marzo de 2011This looks so pretty and amazing!I am going to go try it right now(senza the sushi mat and fish sauce,hoping I can still get my roll on with a thick cloth maybe?)Thanks for sharing this,and for your follow too!
06 de Febrero de 2010I don't think this should be in the vegetarian section, lol.....fish stock and bonito? I suppose you can substitute.
31 de Diciembre de 2008Sounds great I love spinach there is low sodium soy sauce available at most grocery stores too.
27 de Enero de 2010Hi tamajin...you are right. Normally I don't bother to roll...I just cut in squares and serve. I drain by squeezing down in the colander. However, to dress it up, simply roll the spinach with a sushi mat so that the roll is about 2 inches in diameter. Then cut the roll in 2 inch pieces. Sushi mats cost around $1.00 and are very handy. If you don't live near an Asian grocery, you can buy one here: http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/product/orchids-bamboo-sushi-mat?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base
22 de Diciembre de 2008I love spinach and Japanese food so I'll have to try this sometime! Just wondering though-- in the picture they look sushi-shaped, but the recipe sounds like they would look more like flat squares. Would you roll up the drained spinach to make them cute like the photo?1 reply
Thanks for a cool recipe!
