Help Me Identify This Korean Veggie


Recommended Posts

A friend gave me a pot of buchu (Korean chives) a few years ago and in it there was also a tiny stem of something, roots broken off. It was dollamul. I planted it and it grew. And grew and grew. This tiny stem now has progeny scattered from Central California to Seattle and points between.

Later in the season it (whatever I don't pick and eat) will be covered with small yellow flowers. A lot of succulents are poisonous but this one is good, pretty much the whole plant can be eaten unless it has gotten too tough at the base.

This one is fairly small (as you can see it's about the size of my finger) and my family eats it raw in a salad application.  We mix it in a salad with dandelion leaves, wild baby onions, red lettuce, and watercress.  The salad dressing is just fish sauce, chile flakes, and I think some sesame oil?  It's good with grilled meat
