Ohitashi is a technique in which water flavored with vinegar or onions is
used to blanch vegetables. The reserved water makes for a flavorful soup
stock.

Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add salt and onion. when the color of
the onion darkens slightly, remove from heat and strain, reserving hot
water. Discard onion and return water to a boil.

Repeat step #1 with spinach, cooking it only for a few seconds. After
straining, run the spinach under cold water. Drain, then roll the leaves
into a 2" thick log. Squeeze gently to remove excess water.

Dampen a sharp knife with a cloth and slice log into 1" pieces. Drizzle
with soy sauce immediately before serving.

Makes 12 pieces. VEGAN
