Instructions: Remove the tough part of the spinach stems and wash the spinach very well.

In a large shallow pot bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and the spinach.

Simmer the spinach for 5 to 10 minutes until it cooks down, stirring occasionally. Drain and cool.

Squeeze out excess water and place spinach in a bowl. Mix the light soy sauce and sesame oil. Add to the spinach along with the remaining ingredients. Toss well and chill.

Comments: We in the West seldom do anything creative with spinach. Here is a cold dish even spinach-hating children will adore.
