Stir-fried chwinamul (aster scaber) is a popular side dish in Korea. Using dried chwinamul, it’s fairly easy to rehydrate and stir-fry this fragrant vegetable.
– Bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and continue to boil, covered, until the stem part is soft. Turn off the heat, and cool the chwinamul in the cooking water until completely cooled and softened. Drain and wash.
– Sauté with cooking oil for about 4 - 5 minutes over medium heat. Add water. Stir in the sesame oil, and toss with sesame seeds and scallion before turning the heat off.
