Method :
- To make the Dressing, combine vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
- Blach spinach for 30 seconds, being careful not to overcook, and drain well squeezing leaves to remove excess liquid. Lay spinach flat on a cutting board, discard root section, and cut in half widthways. Divide equally into 4 bundles. Make sure you divide the leaves and stems evenly between each bundle.
- Squeeze each bundle tightly and dry each bundle with absorbent paper. Cut each bundle into four 21/2 cm pieces, so you end up with a total of 16 small bundles.
- Cut each nori sheet into 20 x 20 cm squares. Cut each square into eight 21/2 cm strips, to yield 16 strips.
- Wrap a strip of nori around each spinach bundle. If needed, use a little water to seal each nori strip. Stand upright on a serving platter and drizzle tops of spinach with Dressing. Garnish with sesame seeds.
