Reference book: "NHK KYOUNO RYOURI" pp.50-51 February issue (1996)

If you can't get spinach, a substitute for spinach can be SYUN GIKU(garland chrysanthemum) like the reference book suggests. It's also tasty. In this book, add the outside of a NEGI(Japanese leek) cut to into fine strips, and soak in water a few minutes, (drain before using.)

And it's better use Extra virgin olive oil and genuine vinegar (It means not synthetic kinds) so I always use YONEZU(A kind of Japanese vinegar made from rice).

Ingredients serves: 3-4

1 bunch of spinach
5-6 mushrooms
5-6 pieces of bacon
2 pieces of garlic
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
The juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon vinegar
Salt, black pepper
