Grab your ingredients.
3
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
4
Wash and drain your spinach. It doesn't need to be super dry. Align the stems and remove any discolored portion of the stem.
5
Toss the sesame oil into the pot of boiling water.
6
Add the spinach to the boiling water. Push the spinach down beneath the water line. Wait for the water to return to a boil.
7
Once the water returns to a boil, simmer the spinach for about 30 seconds, just until tender. Remove the spinach from the hot water and set it aside to drain.
8
In a sauteé pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds. This should take 3-5 minutes. Stir or shake the pan frequently to toss the seeds around in order that they toast more evenly. Toast until seeds are golden brown. Remove the pan from heat. The seeds will continue to toast in the hot pan, so don't leave them alone just yet.
9
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the spinach.
