Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 60 to 90 seconds.
Transfer the spinach to cold water to set the color.
Squeeze out excess water by hand and cut into bite-size pieces.
Toss with soy sauce, sesame oil, crushed garlic, and sesame seeds.
Rest the banchan for 5 minutes and serve cold or at room temperature.
💡 Tip: Squeeze the spinach by hand after blanching; the sauce clings to the leaves more cleanly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve as a cold banchan.
