Tips
- Season the dressing to be a little stronger than usual, as it will season neutral ingredients like noodles and cucumbers.
- Cut all ingredients to be about the same size for a better presentation and eating experience.
- To save cooking time, thaw and season frozen spinach using leftover ohitashi liquid right out of the freezer.
