Sautéed spinach with garlic & sesame (sautéed sigeumchi namul)
By Lena Abraham on Delish – submitted by Judi, Carnegie Hill CSA This recipe is a take on a Korean side dish called sigeumchi namul, which is usually made with blanched spinach, but here the spinach is sautéed which adds depth of flavor. The sauce, which combines toasted sesame oil with garlic, scallions, rice vinegar, and soy sauce, adds a pleasing richness and brightness to the dish. Serve on top of rice, or as part of bibimbap. The leftovers are great the next morning, stirred into scrambled eggs.
