Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dashi
- 1/4 Cup Soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Mirin
- 1 Bunch Spinach
- 2 Tsp Bonito Flakes
Instructions
- Combine dashi, soy sauce, and mirin in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cook the spinach in a large pot of boiling salted water just until wilted. Make sure it is still bright green. It only takes a few seconds. Drain and transfer to a large bowl of lightly salted ice water; let cool.
- Drain and squeeze out excess liquid from greens. Lay the spinach on a cutting board and cut off the stems. Pack the leaves into a cylinder shape. Lay the stems lengthwise.
- Top the spinach bunches with the broth. Serve by drizzling on the bonito flakes over top. Enjoy!
