As I mentioned in mysigeumchi namulpost, namul is the general term that refers to a seasoned vegetable side dish. An infinite number of farm-grown or wild vegetables are used to make nauml dishes in Korea. One of my favourites, which can easily be found here in America, is the watercress. I love its slightly bitter and peppery flavour. When lightly cooked, watercress has that crunchy and chewy texture Korean namul is known for.

Depending on where you are, you may often find this dish among many side dishes served at Korean restaurants. It is unbelievably easy to make and loaded with nutrients. So, add this to your list of Korean side dishes!
