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
