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