1 bunch fresh spinach
1 T. sugar
1 T. toasted, crushed sesame seeds
1-1.5 t. soy sauce
Put a 2-3 qt. saucepan about half full of water on to boil.
Wash spinach and remove tough stems (otherwise stems are fine). Chop roughly (I run a knife through the pile on the cutting board about 5 times). When water is boiling, dump spinach into water and push underwater. AS SOON AS SPINACH WILTS, pour into colander and run under cool water. Use a clean kitchen towl to wring water out of spinach, a handful at a time. You want to get it as dry as you can. Put in a small serving bowl and "fluff" up the squeezed spinach. Sprinkle sugar, sesame seeds, and soy sauce on top and toss with a fork to evenly distribute. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
