Stir-fried Smell tree (cooking)

with yellow gourd

smell tree

leaf

The leaves of Kusagi (Smell tree) in the garden are collected and boiled in plant ash. Leave it for half a day and fry it with sesame oil, sugar and soy sauce. Japanese pepper seasoning. Although it is bitter, it is said that it has been used as food in Zen temples since long ago. It used to belong to the Verbenaceae family, but now belongs to the Labiatae family. (APG classification system) It is highly fertile and breeds disgustingly well. Since it can be taken in large quantities, it is effective as emergency food.

This time, stir-fried with yellow melon.

クサギの炒め物（料理）

庭のKusaki(Smell tree)の葉を採取して、草木灰で煮る。半日置いて、ごま油、砂糖、醤油で炒め物にする。苦いけど、むかしから禅の寺では食糧にしていたという。もとクマツヅラ科だったが、今ではシソ科とされている。（APG分類体系）繁殖力旺盛で、憎たらしいくらいに良く繁殖する。量が取れるので、救荒食糧として有効ということだ。

今回は、黄色瓜と炒めたもの。
