Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) frozen spinach
- 1½ tablespoons tahini
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon sake (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon mirin (optional)
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Preparation
- Place the spinach in the Anyday dish. Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes or until the spinach is fully thawed but not hot.
- While the spinach cooks, whisk the tahini, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, sake, and mirin (if using) in a separate bowl.
- Spinach should have a little bit of water in the dish — if water is pooling, gently strain the spinach (do not squeeze) and toss with dressing.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Garnish with crispy shallots for extra flavor and crunch.
- If available, mix black and white toasted sesame seeds for a unique presentation.
- For a little tang, squeeze with fresh lemon juice and serve.
Recipe notes
- Use frozen or fresh for equally delicious results
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
