REC: Asian style spinach salad

[jake]

I learned this form an Ainsley Harriott book, Gourmet Express 2. I love
spinach and I love ginger, so I tried it. It is a great side with
chicken or pork chops or fish:
Or noodles.

- cook spinach leaves with as little water as possible (don't use any salt)
- drain, and cool
- then chop roughly
- add japanese soy sauce such as kikkoman
- add slices of pickled ginger (the pinkish kind that is served with
sushi). (if you like, you can chop it more finely than how it is sold.
I do chop mine)
- optional: add sesame oil to taste
- top with some toastes sesame seeds (crucial)

I only ever followed the exact amounts once, now I just play it by eye.
So I don't remember the amounts. If anyone wants to know the exacts
amounts, I'll try and find them.
I serve it at room temperature.

This sounds really good and I make a similar salad. I also top mine with
slices of top round when I have it.
