Step 1 Wash the spinach well to remove any dirt and grit. Cut off the roots and discard and then wash again. Step 2 Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the spinach. Blanch for 30 seconds to 1 minute until leaves and stems are bright green. Drain into a colander and rinse under cold water for 30 seconds. Squeeze spinach with your hands to remove as much excess water as possible. Roughly chop and then set aside in a medium sized bowl. Step 3 Next, make the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt and 1 tbsp of water in a small bowl and mix well to combine. The sauce should be a thin paste, so add a little more water if needed. Step 4 Pour the sauce over the spinach and gently mix with tongs until spinach is well dressed. Taste and add more salt if needed. Roughly chop the roasted peanuts. Step 5 Place the spinach onto a small serving plate and top with chopped roasted peanuts.
