Seasonal meowi stalks (Korean butterbur, Petasites japonicus) boiled in salted water, peeled, then simmered in oil and soy sauce until glossy and tender—a chewy, savory rice thief of a side dish.

A spring seasonal side dish that tames the bitterness of butterbur stems through blanching and soaking, then enhanced with a rich, nutty flavor from perilla seed powder and perilla oil.
