A few ingredients that help flavor the dish are sesame oil, soy sauce, and crushed sesame seed.

Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals. It is also good for your skin. You can use any fresh spinach but if you find Korean spinach please try it at least once with that spinach. I did try with regular fresh spinach.
