Japanese Spinach Salad (ほうれん草おひたし) Easy Recipe with Gluten Free Option
Japanese Spinach Salad is a relatively common Japanese side dish. It’s very easy to make with simple ingredients. Cooked spinach is soaked in marinde made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. The combination of umami from the dashi, saltiness from the soy sauce and sweetness from mirin gives the spinach that refreshing and light taste. Perfect to eat it by itself or accompany with other oily dishes such as karaage or tempura.
If you cannot find katsuobushi which is shaved dried bonito or do not like the flavor of dried fish then use roasted white sesame seeds instead.

The sesame seeds are aromatic so it doesn't bother me that much. If it's not enough, add miso and soy sauce, and adjust the taste to your liking. Recipe by chibirock
