Goat's Beard Rice Bowl

20210425, #breakfastdiary 71, 17°C/sunny, 37 min workout I blanch the prettiest #goatsbeard (nungaeseungma) in the world in boiling water, rinse it in cold water, and lay it over rice. I top it with an egg yolk and add a dressing of soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a little chili powder. #goatsbeardricebowl #goatsbeard, also called 'samnamul' because it's said to taste like three things at once — beef, ginseng, and aralia shoots — looks a lot like aralia shoots. Its stem is thick, and when cooked well it really does have the texture of beef. As a company anniversary gift meant to support local farms, I received a wild-greens set. Along with goatsbeard, it's packed with #eosuri, #gomchwi, and #wildgarlic. My kimchi fridge is about to burst, but thanks to it I got to taste greens I might never have tried in my life otherwise. *Adding a photo for anyone who can't tell them apart. On the left, #araliashoots; on the right, #goatsbeard.
