Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching the spinach for more than 30 seconds will break down its texture, so it is important to blanch it only briefly and cool it quickly in cold water.
  • Seasoning with seasoned salt instead of soy sauce or fish sauce prevents discoloration and gives a clean umami without any heaviness.
  • Adding salt to the blanching water brings out the vivid green color of the spinach and removes its characteristic earthy smell.

Recommended for

  • Those who have struggled with spinach namul becoming tough or retaining a bitter taste.
  • Those who want to easily make a clean and savory classic side dish.
  • Those looking for a refined namul side dish that goes well with bibimbap or holiday table settings.
