Heat a wok or frying pan and add the sesame seeds. Stir over medium-high
heat until they are lightly toasted. Cool the seeds and crush them with a
mortar and pestle or food blender. Mix with the miso and sugar. Wash the
spinach and drain well. Heat a wok or frying pan and add the oil. Stir-fry
the spinach just until it collapses. Remove from the wok. Stir the miso and
sesame paste into the spinach.
Comments: The Japanese immigrants quickly learned to give common American
vegetables flavors that reminded them of the old country. I think this is
such a dish. I really do love this served as a cold vegetable side dish.
However, it may be served either hot or cold.
