A Ninja Recipe!
Well, here is a quick recipe that I learned when I started eating more Japanese inspired meals. Traditionaly farmers and common Japanese workers ate a variety of vegetables with rice as a main portion of their diet. So here is one that packs a whole lot of nutrition in a small package!
Hourensou no Gomaae
Spinach sesame salad.
Spinach is loaded with calcium and iron, and is a great source of fiber. We like this recipe because spinach provides so many nutrients in a such a small package.
