That IS another of it's names. It grows wild in the culverts around the rice paddies in Thailand, and as soon as someone cleans it out, another crop is ready in just a couple of weeks. It's considered a 'noxious weed' in Texas, not because it's bad for you, but because it will overtake everything, choking out all other water plants.

Very curious. However...the fish. I'm not, and The Loved One is not, fond if your average "white fish". Could you use something else in this dish?
I suppose so. I guess the idea was that it shouldn't be a strongly flavored fish.

Also, I meant to say, the Bibimbap and kimchee post prior looks even awesomer (so much awesomer that I am overwhelmed into making up a word like "awesomer").
Good word. Fitting. I like it so much that we usually have it at least once a month. Asian markets sell a pre-packed veggie bag of Bibimbap, so all you have to do it dump in on a bowl of rice, pour some kochijan over it, and if you like, the raw egg, stir it all up, and you have a dinner in five minutes. I pass on the raw egg. My wife puts on two!
