About Bujigaengi Namul?

Bujigaengi is a perennial plant belonging to the Asteraceae family that grows in clusters on Ulleungdo Island. Bujigaengi is the name given to the Island Aster on Ulleungdo. It is said to have originated from the term "Bujigi-acho" (不知飢餓草), meaning a herb that prevents one from knowing hunger. There is also a fun story that the name was given because, in the past, it was not eaten but grew naturally, allowing its thick stems to be used as a fire poker ("bujikkaengi") to light fires at home. It grows even in the snow during winter and can be harvested year-round. In particular, Bujigaengi from Ulleungdo is highly loved for its taste and aroma, which are incomparably superior to wild vegetables from other regions.

When I first opened the lid, the strong, distinctive scent of the herb made me worry that it might not suit my taste, but it turns out that was unnecessary worry. I ate it with meat, and the more I chewed, the more it tasted—whether I should call it savory or sweet—anyway, it was delicious. It seems to cut through the greasy taste of the meat. You mentioned that it tastes good with meat, and I think that's really true. Even after eating meat, my mouth feels clean and not greasy at all.
