Well, as for today, I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite Korean side dishes. It's made of spinach, and it is usually served when you are in a Korean restaurant. :) In Korean, it's called Sigeumchi-namul (spinach side dish).
It's really easy and very healthy, I can assure you. So, it is highly recommended! :D
Why healthy? The nutrients in the green leafy spinach stays because the time taken to cook it is less than 1 minute. Besides nutrients, you also get fibre! Along with that, sesame oil which is used a lot in Korean dishes have enormous list of benefits such as more healthy skin, lowers blood pressure, aids in digestion and a lot more. :D
