It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


1 1/2 pound spinach, baby bok choy, Chinese broccoli, or a combination
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
Pour about 1-inch of water into a wok and bring it to a boil over high heat. Put the greens into a bamboo steamer and cover. Put the steamer into the wok and steam the vegetables for about 5 minutes or until they are just tender.
Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, oil, and sesame seeds in a small bowl.
Put the cooked greens onto a serving platter, drizzle the dressing over them, and toss well to coat.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

This was pretty good. The dressing was great.

Made this with spinach because I don't like broccoli. I didn't steam it though I just stir fried it with some sesame oil. The honey dressing went well with it.

We used baby bok choy and regular broccoli (couldn't find Chinese broccoli at our local supermarket). The honey-soy dressing was really good, especially with the addition of the toasted sesame seeds! We used a veggie steamer instead of the wok/basket method.
