Love this recipe!  We’ve made it 4 times in the last 2 weeks and can’t get enough of it.

Hi Colleen, unfortunately Japanese seasonings tend to be pretty high in sodium. You can certainly use tamari, although I haven’t done it myself, and you can reduce or omit the miso if you need to, but it most likely will not have that authentic taste.

Just made this because I had a lot of spinach to make before it went bad. And this was SO good (and super easy)! I was surprised I had all the ingredients and the mortar in my kitchen. I will definitely make this again!

I want to make your recipe but am concerned about sodium, because otherwise, the dish is so healthy and nutrients packed. Do you know if using Tamari as a substitute for soy sauce will work? Any tips on reducing sodium? Many people with diabetes and heart concerned worry about sodium. Gomae salad has a high sodium count. Any idea even your bento portion could potentially have a 40% daily intake according to Google of averages for Gomae

Yay! I would say 3 to 5 days, although usually I eat it all up before then. If you make a big batch, you can actually portion them out in silicone cups and freeze them. If you take it out of the freezer in the morning (to put in a lunch box), it’ll usually defrost by lunch time too, so it’s great for meal prep.

My new go-to spinach recipe! So yummy! And so easy to prepare! How long does it usually last in the fridge?

I so live this recipe! I usually have tahini (sesame paste) in my pantry, and have used half a tablespoon of tahini instead of the crushed sesame seeds, and I generally use honey instead of sugar. Also mix up what I garnish with.. Sometimes sesame seeds, sometimes sunflower, sometime sliced almonds. All are delicious! I am not a huge fan of greens in geberal, but I can eat this every day without complaint. I usually get a 10 or 16 Oz box of spinach, microwave it in batches, mix up the paste, mix together and portion it out (so I don’t eat it all at once). Definitely one of my comfort foods at this point!
