The young leaves of the Aster scaber plant (chwinamul), a fragrant Korean mountain green gathered in spring and one of the country's most cherished namul. Earthy, faintly bitter and deeply aromatic, the leaves are blanched and dressed with sesame oil, soy and garlic, or dried for use through winter. They are a fixture of temple cooking and of the mixed-vegetable bowl bibimbap.
