Rustic Korean Spinach Recipes

SIMPLY SEASONED KOREAN SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the spinach roots (if any) and wash the spinach in cold water thoroughly.
• Boil the water in a pot/sauce pan for 5 to 7 mins. Add the salt (1 tsp). Once the water starts to boil, plunge the spinach into the pot and leave it for 30 seconds.
• Drain the boiled water away and run cold water on the spinach for 1-2 minutes.
• Squeeze the spinach to remove excess water.
• Cut the spinach into 2-3 pieces with a knife. (If you are using baby spinach, you can skip this step.)
• Add the seasoning sauce and mix well with your hands.
• Serve it on a plate and enjoy.

Steps:

• Cut off the tips of spinach and clean thoroughly.
• Boil a pot of water and blanch the spinach for 1 minute.
• Drain and rinse spinach under cold water and squeeze out the liquid.
• Separate the spinach strands in a mixing bowl and cut into a few sections if you prefer shorter length.
• Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl. Using your finger tips (gloved if you prefer) smear the doenjang and gochujang pastes together to combine and then toss everything together as you gently massage around the spinach, so that every strand of spinach will get seasoned.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
