Komatsuna and Spinach Steamed in the Microwave

• 1 bunch Komatsuna or Spinach
• 1 amount to wrap Plastic wrap

1. This time I'm using komatsuna.
2. Rinse well to remove any dirt or debris.
3. Cut the roots off.
4. Divide in half, and flip half around so they steam evenly.
5. Wrap with plastic wrap.
6. Be sure to secure the ends, too.
7. On a microwave-safe dish, cook for 1 and 1/2 minutes at 500-600 W. Cook to your preferred tenderness.
8. Place the wrapped bunch in cold water, and then remove the wrap.
9. This prevents burns from the steam.
10. Drain and cut to size.
11. Notes Komatsuna: Cook 1 1/2 minutes for a firmer texture, 2 minutes for a softer texture.
12. Spinach: Reduce the cooking time compared with komatsuna.
