Easy Komatsuna Namul

• 1 Komatsuna
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1/2 to 1 clove's worth Grated garlic
• 1 1/2 tsp or so Soy sauce
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Sesame seeds

1. Cut the bottom ends off the komatsuna and wash each stalk carefully.
2. Divide the stems from the leaves, and cut both up as you like.
3. Bring water to a boil in a pan, and add the stems first.
4. A minute after the water comes back to a boil add the leaves too.
5. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes until the leaves are bright green.
6. Strain in a colander.
7. You can cool it under running water, but I leave it to cool down on its own while I prepare the garlic.
8. When the komatsuna has cooled, take handfuls and squeeze out the excess water.
9. Put the squeezed out komatsuna in a plastic bag and shake it around to loosen the leaves.
10. Add the sesame oil and rub it in well.
11. Take the core out of the garlic.
12. Grate the rest.
13. Put all the grated garlic in the bag, wiping it off the grater with a komatsuna leaf.
14. Shake and separate the greens over the bag to distribute the garlic evenly.
15. Drizzle on some soy sauce, add salt to taste, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
