- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soya sauce
-
1 teaspoon Japanese liquid dashi stock (if using powdered dashi stock, simply dissolve half a packet in hot water and use 1 teaspoon)**If dashi stock is not available, simply increase soya sauce to about 1.5 teaspoon or 2 teaspoons, depending on taste)

Directions:
1. Blanch komatsuna in boiling water for about 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Remove immediately when it wilts and plunge into ice water.
3. Remove komatsuna from ice water and squeeze dry to remove as much water as possible then pat dry with kitchen towel.
