Spinach Pasta
Notes

Before bed, I put some wilting spinach in water and it perked right back up.
Sadly, I trim off and toss the spinach roots, which are rich in iron and polyphenols.
Surprisingly, the secret behind great Korean-style pasta places is oyster sauce. Italy would be horrified to hear that, but it's true. Today I used fish sauce instead. It doesn't bring quite the same umami as oyster sauce, but it's still excellent.
