Make it
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring until fragrant and lightly golden. Tip into a mortar and crush to a coarse paste.
- Bring the blanching water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the spinach and cook for 45–60 seconds, just until wilted and bright green, then drain and rinse briefly under cold running water.
- When cool enough to handle, squeeze the spinach firmly in small bundles to remove excess water. Cut the bundles into 4 cm lengths and loosen them in a bowl.
- Stir the tamari, sugar and dressing water into the crushed sesame. Toss with the spinach until evenly coated and serve at once or refrigerate until serving.
