Repeat process to cook and cool remaining spinach. In a large bowl, mix sake, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Squeeze or roll spinach tightly in a kitchen towel to remove as much water as possible. Place in bowl and mix with dressing to coat. If making salad ahead, cover and chill up to 4 hours. Divide spinach into six cylindrical bundles and squeeze each tightly to compact the leaves. Arrange bundles on a serving plate or in individual small, shallow bowls. Spoon a little of the dressing left in the bowl over each bundle. Sprinkle each bundle with about 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 1\/2 pounds spinach, stemmed and rinsed well 1\/4 cup sake or dry white wine 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil.
