Korean cooking ingredients:

Mugwort powder

Even though it says “sagebrush powder” on the package, don’t be fooled! It’s not sagebrush powder, it’s mugwort powder.

    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.

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

    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.

      When I was little, I lived in Seoul and my mom and I would go out to pick mugwort at the park, Then we made mugwort soup with it. Now that I live in Chicago, I don’t know where to look for fresh mugwort. Do you buy it from Chinatown or somewhere else?

      Thanks,
      Dani

    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.
