Freshness of the spinach is no doubt a key to the success of this dish. I picked out this fresh and nice looking spinach yesterday at the grocery store and the idea of making this dish came into my mind right away.
You might wonder why I blanched the spinach instead of eating it raw. This is a great question! The truth is I haven’t really thought about that before, except this is how my mother likes to make this dish. Feel free to make this dish into a salad if you like to
