Recipe 🍳

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.
