1. Place the chicken tenders on a plate, sprinkle with the salt and pour the sake over. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 90 seconds.
2. Turn the chicken over, cover and microwave for another 90 seconds. Microwave longer if not cooked through.
3. Reserve the juices. Let the chicken cool enough to handle, then shred it into small pieces by hand. Pour the reserved juices over the chicken.
4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the spinach and push it under the water, then turn off the heat. Drain and let cool.
5. Squeeze the spinach dry, pat it dry with paper towel and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces.
6. Dry-roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan until lightly browned. Transfer to a mortar and grind finely.
7. Add the sugar and soy sauce to the ground sesame and mix.
8. Combine the chicken, spinach and sesame sauce.
