Music: Whatever we become by Jung Min A
Chwinamul (aster scaber): I'm introducing one of the most delicious, flavorful, and nutritious mountain vegetable delicacies to you.

Ingredients:
1 package (100-120 grams) of dried chwinamul (dried aster scaber), onion, garlic, canola oil, soy sauce, honey, roasted sesame seeds, and sesame oil.
See my site for pictures and descriptions of ingredients: http://www.maangchi.com/ingredients

Directions:
1. Take the dried aster scaber out of the package and rinse it in cold water.
2. Put it in a large pot. Fill the pot with with water, 3 inches above the chwinamul.
3. Bring to a boil with the lid closed over high heat for 25-30 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 2 hours.
5. 2 hours later, rinse and drain it 3-4 times in cold water to remove dirt and grit.
6. Put it back into the large pot and fill with water 4 or 5 inches above the chwinamul.
7. Soak it overnight (about 10-12 hours). The volume of chwinamul will increase to about 5 cups
8. Rinse and drain.
9. Cut it into bite size pieces about 2 inches long.
10. Slice 1 medium onion (1 cup's worth) and mince 4 cloves of garlic.
11. In a heated pan, add 2 tbs canola oil, sliced onion, garlic, and stir fry for 30 seconds.
12. Add the chwinamul, 1/3 cup soy sauce, and 1 tbs honey and keep stirring for 8 minutes.
*tip: Taste a sample. If it is still tough, add more water and simmer longer with the lid closed.
13. Turn off the heat and add 2 ts sesame oil and 1 tbs roasted sesame seeds.
14. Garnish with silgochu (dried shredded red pepper) or pine nuts.

How do you keep your strainer so clean o.o ?

[Maangchi]

@Rhea277 I use my dishwasher. If you don't have a dishwasher, use a brush.

i love shirts, maangchi! where do you get them?

[Maangchi]

@SnEin When I traveled to Honduras recently, I bought it at a shopping mall in San Pedro Sula. : )

Looks like all the vitamins and nutrients are boiled and washed away! All that's left is fiber, I guess. Do you have to throw away all the boiled water. They must be full of magnesium, etc/

[Maangchi]

@catsmew good point! But that's the way of cooking, and the vegetable contains lots of other nutrients like protein.

Preparation of this dish is near identical to Gosari!

This really looks a lot like spinach itself ... does it taste similar ?

[amly2711]

I really like Korean food I even love to cook but in my country we don't have this veg.

[snowblazer12]

my mom uses this in a traditional chinese soup, she just puts it in the water (after washing) with pork shoulder, pine nuts, garlic and other ingredients

[MalkavianHand]

@catsmew Like a lot of Korean vegatables, it can be that they have to boil out the poisonous parts to be left with the nutritious, safe ones.
