Directions
Wash the spinach thoroughly, then trim and discard any thick or woody stems.
Chop the scallion and mince the garlic.
Heat the sesame oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Brown the ground beef, separating the particles while stir-frying.
Add the scallion, garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add the water, then the spinach.
Bring the soup to the boil, then lower the flame. Cover with a tight-fitting lid on the pot.
Wait to remove the cover until the soup is ready to be served. Simmer for 10 minutes.
