I happened to see a recipe in a cookbook that is similar to this spinach dish I wok even the presentation is the same. But the one in the cookbook added an extra ingredient - shredded bonito. Since I have that, I tried it.
Ingredients:- 300 g Spinach, cut into equal sections
- 1/2 tablespoon oil
- Some shredded bonito
- 2 teaspoon light soy sauce.
How to do it:
- Add oil in a pot of water and blanch spinach. 2-3 minutes is enough.
- Drain and squeeze out water.
- Sprinkle some shredded bonito.
- Drizzle the light soy sauce.
- Serve.
Note:
- I like to place spinach this way (standing up) because they tend to absorb sauce very fast. Then those on the bottom will be too salty.
- This presentation makes sure the sauce gets even distributed.
- I find this dish best eaten at room temperature not hot.
Hey.. I think you should write a book on Cooking for the children and the entire family.... your pictures will sell!! I must say your presentation is fantastic, just like how a restaurant displays their food. In fact, better. I'm serious!!

ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't think I have the courage to do it lah. Still dont think it's good enough. I'm not being modest, really.
I may have the ideas but my skills are still quite raw. I have only started cooking about 3 years ago when my son started taking solids. It still need a lot of polishing.
But thanks a lot!
Frannie,
Thanks! It will be my pleasure!
