Easy but unique, this is one of those exotic dishes that will earn you fame! Blanched spinach leaves are coated with a tongue tickling mixture of roasted and powdered sesame, vinegar and sauces.

The sesame dressing is very interesting as it gives a yummy, nutty taste in each bite. Serve the Spinach in Sesame Sauce immediately after preparation.
