Working for a Korean restaurant, gave me the opportunity to learn how to make their interesting selection of  side dishes. From Kimchi cutting and preparation to molding rice cake appetizers.

So, I have decided to teach you one of the easiest side dish Korea has to offer!  



Sigeumchi or  Spinach is usually a balance flavor from garlic, salt and sesame oil. How to make Sigeumchi? 

-8 Tablespoon Sesame oil (preferably Korean style Sesame oil for rich flavor)
-6 cloves chopped garlic
-1 Tablespoon Sea Salt
-1 teaspoon beef powder
-dash of pepper
-1 Kg Spinach

1. Trim Spinach roots and cut into 4 Inches long. Wash and rinse thoroughly twice.

2. Blanch spinach into 5 liters of boiling water for 20 seconds and shock it from ice water to prevent further cooking. Squeeze all excess water.

3. Using a bowl, mix garlic, salt, pepper, sesame oil and beef powder with the spinach.

Set aside for 1 hour for best result.
