Once the spinach cools, squeeze out the excess water, then chop into 3-5 cm lengths.

Combine the ☆ ingredients, add chopped spinach and toss, then serve.

Here's a tip! The oxalic acid that produces the bitterness of the spinach disappears when parboiled.

Apparently, if you take in a large amount of oxalic acid, it can accumulate in your body and bind with calcium, so you may become at risk of stone formation or osteoporosis, but...

...there's no way you can consume massive amounts of spinach at one time, and by simply parboiling it in a generous amount of water, you'll be fine!

A Standard Bento Item - Parboiled Spinach with Sesame Seeds
If you don't measure the sesame properly, the taste ends up being too strong. (Maybe this is just me.) You can get the standard taste with just one teaspoon.I recommend using coarsely ground sesame seeds, not finely ground.That produces the right degree of absorption of soy sauce and texture.An easy-to-remember proportion of ingredients: 2 tbs, 2 tsp., 2 tsp. (or 6 tsp, 2 tsp, 2 tsp.)!In other words, with any spoon size, you can use a ratio of 3:1:1. Recipe by Maruchiwawa

Spinach & Mashed Tofu with Homemade Sesame Miso Dressing
Mashed tofu dishes with sesame miso sauce that are made thoroughly and patiently taste great of course, but easily made ones are delicious too If you have sesame sauce granules on hand, the flavor can be quickly arranged and the slightly difficult to make mashed tofu with sesame miso sauce dish can be made easily!You can drain the water from the tofu by boiling or heating in the microwave, but those methods also cook off the flavor, so when making this mashed tofu with sesame miso sauce, take the time to drain the water. But if you drain too much of the water, it will become dry and crumbly, so only drain it moderately! Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei
