Easy, delicious, I tasted it hot and cold and really loved it cold.
nice mix of flavors, makes a change... i like it even better cold.
This was ok, but there are better spinach recipes out there.
This is a wonderfully simple but incredibly flavorful recipe, evoking the essential flavors of Japanese cooking. This pairs wonderfully with fish, especially halibut. I sauté the spinach for just a minute or two as that’s how my wife and I prefer it -simply delicious.
