Love Japanese side dishes? Gomae is the best Japanese spinach salad, dressed in a nutty, savory and sweet sesame sauce. Ready in 15 minutes!

Gomae (Japanese spinach and sesame salad)

sesame seeds

soy sauce

sugar

dashi powder

water

spinach

Put the sesame seeds in a small pan and turn the heat to low. Keep stirring the seeds until they become golden &#8211; about 6 to 7 minutes. 

Turn the heat off and put the seeds in a sesame seed grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind the seeds into a bowl and add the soy sauce, sugar, dashi powder, and water. Stir and set aside.

Fill a large pot with water and 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, fill a medium to large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside.

Add the spinach and boil for 1 minute and drain.

Transfer the spinach to the bowl with ice and leave for a few minutes, until the spinach is cold. 

Drain the spinach and using your hands, take a chunk of spinach and squeeze as much excess water as you can. Place the spinach on a cutting board and repeat with the remaining spinach.

Cut the spinach into 2-inch long pieces and transfer it to a mixing bowl. 

Add the sesame sauce on top and using chopsticks, toss until the spinach is evenly coated with the sauce. Serve.

This was absolutely delicious. My husband was delighted with dinner last night. I made this and your avocado salad, plus an Asian cucumber salad recipe that I already had.  I'm looking forward to leftovers for my lunch
