Sigeumchi-namul is a Korean side dish (banchan) made of blanched spinach seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. The spinach is only slightly cooked, leaving it a little crispy, but still soft and tasty. Because it’s so easy to make and so delicious, it’s a very popular and common side dish among Koreans. For many Koreans an easy, simple everyday meal consists of rice, kimchi, a stew (often doenjang-jjigae), kongnamul-muchim (a bean sprout side dish), and sigeumchi-namul.
Boil 8 to 10 cups of water in a large pot.
Blanch the spinach for 30 seconds to 1 minute with lid off, stirring with a wooden spoon.
Strain the spinach and rinse in cold water a couple of times to remove any residual dirt.
Squeeze out excess water and cut a few times into bite size pieces.
Mix the spinach with garlic, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds in a mixing bowl by hand.
Transfer to a bowl or plate and garnish with silgochu, if used.
