Mugwort Glutinous Pancake

Hope the sight of these pics don't make u feel gross!

Mugwort Glutinous Pancake

This is a glutinous rice kueh made using Mugwort (艾草) which is a herbal plant and has useful medicinal uses such as treating digestive disorders, expelling intestinal worms, and alleviating menstrual pain.

Mugwort

Initially, I don't know the name of this plant until i watched the Korean drama Golden Bride (黄金新娘) which features the Vietnamese bride Nguyen Jin Joo (珍珠) using mugwort to make Korean rice cakes.

My chef loves mugwort very much (she even add it to the Hakka Lei Cha!) but I don't really like it due to its strong smell.
