How to Cook Simmered Zenmai, Japanese Flowering Fern

       This week, I cooked Japanese flowering fern, which is called zenmai in Japanese. Zenmai is edible wild vegetable and eaten in some Asian countries including Japan. When I lived in Japan, I some times cooked it as well. Anyway, I bought zenmai at Korean supermarket here in the U.S. a while ago, and I finally cooked simmered zenmai this week. It turned out delicious salty Japanese side dishes. I'm going share how to cook it with you.
