If you want to bring the authentic taste of Gurye to your table, here is everything you need to know about preparing our premium dried veggie:

1. How to Prepare Dried Chwinamul

Because dried Chwinamul has a sturdy texture, it requires a bit of patience to bring out its best flavor: Soaking: Soak the dried Chwinamul in lukewarm water for at least 5 to 10 hours. Boiling: Boil the soaked leaves in the same water for about 20 to 30 minutes until they become supple. Steaming (Optional): For an even softer texture, turn off the heat and let it sit in the hot water for another hour. Rinsing: Rinse the dried vegetable several times in cold water and squeeze out the excess moisture.

2. Delicious Recipes with Dried Chwinamul

This versatile dried veggie can be the star of many healthy dishes:

Chwinamul Stir-fry (Namul): Sauté the prepared herb with minced garlic, soy sauce, and perilla oil. This is the most popular way to enjoy the deep aroma of Dried Chwinamul. Chwinamul Rice: Place the seasoned dried vegetable on top of rice before cooking. The fragrance will infuse every grain of rice.

Healthy Wraps: Use the large, rehydrated leaves as a nutritious wrap for grilled meats or rice.
