INGREDIENTS
| 2 1/2 | T | Sesame seeds |
| 2 | T | Miso, light see * Note |
| 1/2 | t | Sugar |
| 1/4 | lb | Fresh spinach |
| 1 | T | Peanut oil |
INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Fermented soybean paste; available in Japanese or Oriental markets. 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.
