Japanese Kids LOVE Spinach! The Secret School Lunch Salad Recipe 🥗

Описание: Even kids who hate vegetables will ask for seconds! 😲 This Spinach Tuna Salad is a legendary recipe from Japanese school lunches ("Kyushoku"). Teachers and parents often ask, "Why do children eat spinach at school but not at home?" The secret lies in this specific preparation method!

It removes the bitterness of the spinach and uses a magical dressing ratio that kids absolutely love. It’s healthy, packed with iron and vitamins, and perfect for lunchboxes (Bento)!

Ingredients (Serves: Adults 2 + Child 1 [JP Standard] / World Standard)
170g (6.0 oz) / 255g (9.0 oz) Spinach
60g (2.1 oz) / 90g (3.2 oz) Carrot
30g (1.1 oz) / 45g (1.6 oz) Canned Tuna (in oil)
6g (0.2 oz) / 9g (0.3 oz) White Sesame Seeds
3.5g (0.1 oz) / 5.3g (0.2 oz) Vinegar
8.5g (0.3 oz) / 12.8g (0.5 oz) Soy Sauce
3.5g (0.1 oz) / 5.3g (0.2 oz) Sugar

Instructions

Prep Vegetables: Cut carrots into thin strips. Cut spinach into 2cm (approx 1 inch) lengths.

Boil: Boil the carrots and spinach separately until tender.

Cool & Squeeze: Rinse the boiled vegetables under cold running water to cool, then squeeze out the water very thoroughly. (This is the key to good texture!)

Prep Sauce: Mix soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar. Heat in a microwave (1200W) for about 10 seconds to remove the sharp acidity.

Toast Sesame: Toast the white sesame seeds in a pan until fragrant (optional but recommended).

Mix: Combine the squeezed vegetables, drained tuna, toasted sesame seeds, and the sauce. Mix well and serve!
