How to Cook Simmered Zenmai, Japanese Flowering Fern

     Tonight, I cooked chikuzenni and simmered zenmai (ゼンマイの煮物), which is one of my favorite Japanese side dishes. Zenmai is Japanese flowering fern, which is edible wild vegetable and eaten in some Asian countries including Japan. You can find boiled zenmai at Japanese and Korean supermarkets.
