    Interesting thing is when i have some spare mugwort powder i actually mix this with water to make a paste and apply it as a face mask i find it works well. But i mainly use in cooking it has a bitter flavour : ))))

    Hi Maanchi,
    I am doing some research for my Korean friend. She found wild Suk on
    the hillside and wants to know the English name. I think it is mugwort, (Artemisia Vulgaris)

    But then, I see something offered by Kitazawa Seed Co. that is “water dropwort”, (Oenanthe crotata)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_dropwort
    they also call it Korean Minari.
    http://www.kitazawaseed.com/seeds_water_dropwort.html

    In reading about both I think they look similar and both have medicinal uses. Which is it that my friend calls suk?

    We have fresh mugwort growing in our garden, and I’d like to make mugwort rice cake. Please show the recipe in your next your Youtube.

    rosellearmada,
    How about using roasted green bean powder or even green tea powder? Don’t forget to mix it with sugar before dipping the ricecake balls.

    Hi, found your website while surfing. found many of your recipes quite interesting. great that you take time to respond to every query. I’m interested in sagebrush powder but i don’t think it’s available here in Manila (i’ve seen a few korean stores here). Can you suggest any substitute ?

    jackie,
    I assume you are talking about
    sweet rice flour or powder. Yes, you can.

  12. Hi MAANGChi,

    i am wondering can i add the sagebrush powder to the flour in it while making the rice cake like mochi?

    Anonymous,
    It tastes a little bitter and smells like herbs. It’s also called mugwort. Thanks!

  14. What does sagebrush powder taste like? is it sweet?

    Hi,milgwimper,
    Thank you for your information.
    I used “ssook (mugwort) powder” in my gyung dan video, not “Sook Got”. They are different vegetables. : ) When I use it in my upcoming cooking videos, I will use the information that you provided. Thanks a lot.

  16. Maangchi,

    I think the english name for sook gaht is crown daisie, or garland chrysanthemum, the scientific name is Chrysanthemum coronarium. I cannot stand the stuff raw but love it cooked. Thanks for all the recipes and good job. It must be a lot of work but I wanted to know how much enjoy your work.
