Cooking tips

  • Since water dropwort and mugwort have different stem textures, it’s important to add them to boiling water at separate times—starting with the tougher roots—to ensure even cooking.
  • Failing to squeeze out moisture properly right after blanching will make the greens soggy and dilute the seasoning, so press firmly with your hands to extract all liquid.
  • Avoid artificial seasonings like sugar or soy sauce; instead, rely primarily on rich, traditional soybean paste to preserve the natural fragrance of mugwort.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to build a diet that supports gut health and promotes restful sleep using seasonal greens.
  • People eager to experience the unique contrast between the slightly bitter mugwort and the sweet, tender water dropwort.
  • Individuals who prefer mild, balanced, and deeply savory traditional home-style side dishes without strong stimulation.
