Sesame Spinach Stir-Fry

How to prepare sesame spinach stir-fry

1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until lightly golden. Remove immediately to a bowl, as they burn easily.
2. In a wide pan, add the spinach (in 3-4 batches) and saute just until it wilts. If you find it more convenient, you can briefly blanch it in salted water instead. Transfer the spinach to a bowl and once it cools a bit, squeeze out the excess liquid well.
3. In a wide pan, heat the oil and add the ginger paste, chili, and crushed garlic. Saute briefly, about 15 seconds.
4. Add the spinach and saute for another minute to blend the flavors.
6. Transfer the spinach to a bowl, immediately add the soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and sliced green onion. Toss gently. Adjust salt to taste.
7. Serve immediately with steamed rice and tofu (during fasting periods) or with fish.
