Wow...just tried this recipe this evening & its delicious! Never knew spinach can be this good.

I really think its the process of quick boiling, shocking in cold water then wringing water out makes the spinach able to soak up the flavor of the seasoning = Wow taste.

@Maangchi okay, thanks! i was thinking to use it in bento or something ^^

This is very good, while similar as Chinese salad too, while we will add some green bean noodle , soaked and boiled mix within it, better help stress relief. :) In summer time. :)

I was kind of horrified to see you cook it without washing it. I was somewhat relieved you gave it a good rinse after but i can't help but think that it is much harder to get the dirt off once it is cooked since the leaves are all wilted. Do you not find raw garlic a bit strong? Why not fry the garlic in the sesame oil briefly to release the aroma?

To whoever said that spinach growers need to get the sand off of their spinach, that's not their responsibility. You need to wash it well after purchasing it just as you would leeks to get all of the mud out.
