My favorite of the sides dishes my mother used to make is this spinach with black sesame sauce. I learned the recipe from her, so I'm writing it down so I don't forget it.

Grinding the sesame seeds very well in a grinding bowl just before mixing them in makes a big difference to the aroma. Recipe by Kichiri-monja

Steps

1

Blanch the spinach. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a little salt. Put the stem ends in the boiling water and hold for 30 seconds, then push the whole bunch in and boil for another 30 seconds - a total of 1 minute.
2

Drain and refresh the spinach in cold water. Squeeze out the excess water well, and cut into easy to eat pieces (3-4㎝).
3

Put the black sesame seeds in a grinding bowl (suribachi), and grind in a circular motion for 2 to 3 minutes until the sesame forms fine slightly moist yet light powder.
4

Put the ○ ingredients in the bowl with sesame and mix well.
5

Add the spinach while separating it out, mix well and it's done.
