Simple Spinach with Sesame Seeds

• 1 bunch Spinach
• 3 tbsp Ground black sesame seeds
• 2 tsp Sake
• 1 to 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce

1. Carefully rinse the spinach, immerse in boiling water, parboil briefly, then dunk in chilled water.
2. Once the spinach cools, squeeze out the excess water, then chop into 3-5 cm lengths.
3. Combine the ingredients, add chopped spinach and toss, then serve.
4. Here's a tip!
5. The oxalic acid that produces the bitterness of the spinach disappears when parboiled.
6. 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...
7. ...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!
