Dolminari (Korean wild parsley) is a refreshing summer ingredient that can awaken taste buds with its vibrant flavor and crunchy texture. It grows along riverbanks and rocky areas, and is particularly known for its strong aroma. Dolminari is packed with health benefits such as beta-carotene, vitamins A and C, and potassium, making it great for antioxidant and immune support. It has been traditionally used for detoxifying properties, especially after drinking alcohol. In the summer, its bitterness and fresh scent help refresh the body and regain lost appetite. A popular dish is 'Dolminari Muchim' - a simple and flavorful side dish. Chef Lee Bo-eun recommends this as a key summer recipe, allowing you to enjoy the full taste and benefits of seasonal dolminari. Check out her recommended recipes in the accompanying video.
