Gomae Japanese Style Spinach Salad

This is chef flowers version of spinach gomae. It's a side dish i often ordered at my favourite japanese restaurant (before it closed down.) i found a visual version on you tube and since i couldn't find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com i thought i would add it to zaar's collection. we all love this salad and my daughter can eat the whole serving (if i let her). i often double the recipe, so she can have extra greens, well it worked for popeye the sailor man. ayyye
