(Simply Seasoned Korean Spinach Salad (Sigeumchi Namul) | MyKoreanKitchen.com)  Today’s recipe is a very simple version of a Korean spinach salad dish (Sigeumchi Namul banchan 시금치 나물 반찬). It’s very easy and super quick to make. There are a couple of ways to make this spinach side dish, but the recipe I’m about to share here is mainly reliant on salt, garlic and sesame oil as a seasoning. To people who are used to a stronger taste, it might taste a bit bland, but what can I say! This is the healthy way of eating!
