Ingredients
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

- ½ tsp toasted sesame seeds, crushed
- ½ tsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp golden caster sugar
- 1 garlic clove, grated

Method
- STEP 1
Bring a large pot of water to the boil and fill a large bowl with cold water and a handful of ice. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the sesame oil, soy sauce, sesame seeds, vinegar, sugar, garlic and pepper to taste, until the sugar has dissolved. Set the dressing aside.
- STEP 2
Blanch the spinach in the boiling water until just wilted, then scoop straight into the cold water. Drain well and squeeze out any excess water. Gently loosen the clumps of spinach with your fingers, transfer to the bowl of sesame dressing and toss together. Cover and chill for about 1 hr to let the flavours mingle.
