Składniki

1 pound (2 bunches; 450g) mature spinach, bottom 1/2 inch of stems trimmed, leaves washed well and drained (see note)

Kosher salt

2 tablespoons (30ml) unseasoned rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon (15g; 15ml) doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste)

1 tablespoon (15ml) honey

1 teaspoon (5ml) fish sauce

1 teaspoon (2g) freshly ground black pepper

Wskazówki

Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. In a medium or large pot of salted boiling water, cook spinach until lightly wilted but still vibrantly green, about 30 seconds. Immediately transfer spinach to prepared ice bath to rapidly chill.

Once spinach is fully chilled, drain it; empty the ice bath bowl, wipe it dry, and set aside. Using clean hands, wring out as much water from spinach as possible, doing your best not to mangle and tear the greens. Transfer to cutting board, and cut into bite-size pieces. Set aside.

In the now-empty large bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, doenjang, honey, fish sauce, black pepper, and garlic. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in sesame oil until emulsified.

Using clean hands, fold spinach into dressing, separating any clumps and gently massaging dressing into greens until spinach is evenly coated all over, about 30 seconds. Add scallions and sesame seeds, and using hands, fold into spinach until well-combined, about 15 seconds. Taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. Divide between small individual serving bowls, or transfer to airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
