Have you ever tried a side dish that’s earthy, aromatic, and totally addictive? Chwinamul is a seasoned wild aster scallion that Koreans have been enjoying for centuries, especially in spring! It’s tossed with garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce — simple ingredients that bring out the most amazing flavor. Trust me, once you try it with a bowl of warm rice, there’s no going back!
