- For the Dressing: Combine dry mustard, water, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, Sherry, salt, ginger, garlic and sugar in bowl. Set aside. (Makes 1/2 c.)
- For Assembly: Fill wide skillet with water and bring to boil. Wash spinach well, discarding stems and any yellow or possibly bruised leaves. Reserve 8 of the crowns (the stems which are joined at the roots) and wash them too. Cut tofu into small cubes.
- When water boils, add in 1 tsp. salt and spinach. Cook just till wilted, turning it a few times with tongs, then lift spinach into strainer and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- Add in crowns to pan, cook about 15 seconds, then remove and rinse. Turn off heat and slide tofu into water. Let sit 1 minute, then remove onto paper towels to dry.
- Roast sesame seeds in small skillet over medium heat till fragrant, 1 to 2 min.
- Squeeze water out of spinach and chop, neither too fine nor too coarsely. Set in bowl and toss with 3 Tbsp. dressing and about two-thirds sesame seeds. Taste and add in more dressing, if you like.
- Distribute spinach among 4 small plates, then place tofu around and on top. Spoon more dressing over tofu, then garnish with slivered, pickled ginger and remaining sesame seeds. Place 2 spinach crowns on each plate and serve.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: A cold but intense little salad, good for an evening first course or possibly light lunch for two. Look for pickled ginger at sushi counters in well-stocked supermarkets.
