When I was watching culinary class wars, I didn’t know what mugwort was – so I bought some. Share your favourite recipes with us!

    I forgot to add that I also read you can smoke it and it will get you into a meditative state!

    Once I went hiking with a friend. We saw a large group of Asian people collecting herbs along the trail. When I asked one of them what they were using it for, she said tea. She gave me a Korean name and I looked it up. It was mugwort, but I have still never tried it.

    I still think about that. I’ve grown apart from that friends, but I still think of the mugwort.

    It’s very good in soup. I make it quite plain: just anchovy broth with some deongjang and ssuk. It’s really about the fragrance of the ssuk.

    Ssuk Tteok is one of my lifetime favourites. (mugwort rice cake)

    Korean grandmas used to go to fields and collect them from mountains and parks… still does, but not in the US…
