 Both hot and cold vegetables are important in the Korean diet.  Here
 are several recipes adapted from "Traditional Korean Cooking" by Han
 Chung Hea, head of a prestigious cooking institute in Seoul.

 Remove roots from spinach, if desired.

 In bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, scallion
 and vinegar.

 Bring large pot lightly salted water to boil.  Add spinach, root ends
 first, and immerse only until leaves turn bright green.  Drain and
 rinse immediately in cold water.  Drain and squeeze out as much water
 as possible.  Place spinach in bowl with soy sauce mixture and toss
 well.

 Serve at once, topped with few red pepper threads, if desired.

 Serves 2.
