When you get chrysanthemum greens from Asian grocery stores, they always come in a huge bundle. I would buy them for making a hot pot dinner and later found the leftover greens have wilted to a sad state somewhere in the back of the fridge. After having to toss away enough wilted leaves, I decided to find new purposes to make the best of chrysanthemum greens. This Chrysanthemum Greens Salad (春菊のナムル; ssukgat namul in Korean) with a sesame dressing cannot be any more perfect!...

This bottle is from Kagoshima prefecture (southern Japan), where most of the black vinegar is produced in Japan....
