INSTRUCTIONS
O-hitashi is a technique in which water flavored with vinegar or onions is used to blanch vegetables. The reserved water makes for a flavorful soup stock. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add salt and onion. when the color of the onion darkens slightly, remove from heat and strain, reserving hot water. Discard onion and return water to a boil. Repeat step #1 with spinach, cooking it only for a few seconds. After straining, run the spinach under cold water. Drain, then roll the leaves into a 2" thick log. Squeeze gently to remove excess water. Dampen a sharp knife with a cloth and slice log into 1" pieces. Drizzle with soy sauce immediately before serving. Makes 12 pieces.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
