Ingredient Notes
Spinach – I like using Savoy spinach (curly leaf spinach) for sautéing. Their leaves are thicker and crispier, so they don’t get too mushy even after cooking. You can use regular spinach, baby spinach, or other greens like kale or swiss chard too.
(In Japan) Savoy spinach is called ちぢみほうれん草, and they’re usually sold at supermarkets during the winter months.
Gochujang (コチュジャン) – it’s a fermented chili paste popular in Korean cooking. Gochujang is a great condiment to use for savory, spicy and slightly sweet flavors. It’s sold in any Asian supermarket or online.
Sesame oil – made from roasted sesame seeds. It adds a rich aroma, and a complex nutty flavor to dishes. If you don’t have it, use neutral oil as a substitution.
