Shi-geum-chi namul (시금치 나물) - Spinach and herbs

This is one of my favorite sides, and I never hesitate to eat a fistful when it's served at school.  It's also really easy to make.  Besides, it'll make you strong like Popeye!

Ingredients:
350g baby spinach
1/4 carrot
1 spoon salt

Spices:
1 spoon each: soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame salt
2 spoons each: sliced scallions, sesame oil
1/3 spoon salt
pinch of pepper

Steps:

1. Julienne the carrot.  Cut the roots off the spinach and discard.  Break up bunches, wash.  Boil water with a pinch of salt and briefly cook the spinach.  Remove and rinse a couple of times in cold water to stop cooking.
2. Gently squeeze the moisture from the spinach.
3. Mix soy sauce, garlic, leeks, salt, and carrots in with the spinach.  At the end, add sesame oil, sesame salt, and pepper to taste.
