Horenso No Goma Miso Ae (Spinach with Sesame Miso Sauce)
Spinach is tossed with a nutty sesame sauce.
Adapted from Gourmet
Note: In honor of the season, I substituted half the traditional spinach with chard. To do the same, rinse chard and drain. Remove large ribs and discard. Blanch chard in boiling water for 1 minute and drain. Continue recipe as with spinach.
