Chwinamul Rice - Korean Wild Vegetable Rice

Chwinamul is a wild vegetable in Korea with a bitter taste and distinctive smell. In the national parks in Korea like Seorak Mountain, Jiri Mountain, there are popular local restaurants. The restaurants sell a lot of foods with wild vegetable. Mountain tourists like to eat meals with local wild vegetables after hiking or climbing. Wild vegetables have a unique taste and flavor, so there are many people who like it. I also do. But it is not easy to buy wild vegetables in the U.S. Fortunately, I found frozen wild vegetables at H-Mart (Korean grocery in the U.S.) So I use them, even though it is not fresh vegetables. Koreans use wild vegetables as a side dish, salad, rice and soup... Among them, I am going to make a wild vegetable rice - Chwinamul rice!
