recipes

My apologies to OTJ for being remiss about the recipe. To atone for that, I'm posting 2 veggie recipes that my kids both love:

Korean-style Spinach
1 bunch spinach
1/8 -- 1/4 tsp. salt
1 -- 1-1/2 tsp roasted, (kind of) crushed sesame seeds
1-- 1-1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1/4 -- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 -- 1-1/2 tsp. soy sauce

1 tsp. Korean beef broth powder (this is optional but really helps)
(*these amounts are to taste)


Clean spinach. Blanch spinach (Boil large amount of water. Place spinach in boiling water. Stir to get all spinach into water. Return to boil. Remove spinach and rinse in cold water.) Squeeze out as much water as possible. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. (The best way to do this is by hand.) Serve either at room temperature or cold. (Can be refrigerated and served later.)


Broccoli
Steam fresh broccoli. Drain. Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce.


Yeah, I know. Calling this one a "recipe" is kind of stretching it.

No need to apologize about he broccoli recipe. I've been looking for something new to do with broccoli. This might do the trick. Thanks!

Looking forward to trying these. Definitely more exciting that what I do with vegetables!

My kind of recipes. I always wondered exactly how you made the spinach. I think I had it once at your mom's house. (or tasted some your sister was eating?) I remember it being very good.
