- In this video, I am showing how to prepare and cook Horsetail, a type of fern that grows primarily in the wild.
In my Channel, I show step by step of alternative but authentic Japanese home cooking, which can be made with the ingredients that are easily available outside of Japan.

Please more video about wild vegies like this! i'm looking for horse tail recipes after watching chibi maruko chan and i reallly like your video ❤
i will try, but there are not so much of the foraging food, easy to find outside of Japan, only these two...
aha! Arigato for this. I spotted a huge clump yesterday 300 yards from my home in Scotland, now I have picked a bagful and tried it: very tasty and unusual. I added a little rice vinegar, mirin and soy sauce and sugar to mine. I dont bother peeling the 'pants' I just cut them our of the stem with scissors: its much quicker and you don't lose much.
wow, cool! didn't know that horsetail also grow in Scotland.
glad you liked the taste!! thanx for the comment!
Thank you for this video! I live in rural Nara Prefecture and an elderly woman taught me about these and where to find them. I was blessed by her wisdom and now yours too! 🥰
Thanks for this video. I'm going to pick some tomorrow.
Oh wow, these grow in my area (coastal Oregon) and I've always wondered what they were! I learned something today, thank you!
This is fantastic ! :) good Idea
Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare this and show it to us! I really enjoyed learning about this kind of food. I know there are horsetails in Korea (where I live), and I wonder if I can eat and prepare this dish here too next spring.
I played with these as a kid, I had no idea you could eat them!! I used to pretend to cook all kinds of plants in my backyard in Michigan, and I called these "mini corn." I'm amazed that they're edible! I've never seen them where I live now, but I would love to try cooking them when I visit MI again! Thank you for everything but especially for this bit of nostalgia!
Thank you for thr recipe. Nicely done
you are welcome, and thank you for visiting and your comment!!
Tsukushi are in my yard, a lot:) Thank you for recipe.
Great video 👍
amazing video! super informative. I just found some in my local park, I'll definitely try making it. I love both foraging and Japanese food
Hi thank you so much for visiting and your comment!! wow, that's awesome, that you were able to find some horsetail!
where do you live?
and I have heard the word "foraging" for the first time in my life, never new such a word existed! I will try to make more of foraging videos. I have couple more ideas.
@@taijiskitchen Thank you! For me 2020 was a discovery of wild foods :) I currently live in Belgium, just moved here from the UK.
@@Edward0lub0Edi I would assume Belgium has quite lots of forest, where you can find some wild foods!
what other wild foods can you find there?
Thank you so much for this video! Tons of horsetail grow in my backyard and I've read that you can eat them but have never been able to find anything about how to cook them. Super happy I'm going to make this dish for breakfast tomorrow!!
thats soooo cool!! where do you live??
hope it turns out delicious!!
I live in Washington state, about 30 miles north of Seattle. I didn't have any of the fish spice you used, i think thats what it was. So i used garlic and onion powder. The horsetail completely absorbed the flavor of the sugar and soy sauce it was like a flavor sponge that exploded in your mouth. I made the one recipe with the egg and put it over rice. 100% I will make this again, it was super easy to make, and it was super good. The only thing I'll do differently next time is cut it up until smaller pieces since mine were so big. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I'll definitely be using it every year!
In Estonia, they also grow in forests and we call it OSI. Thank you!
oh, cool!
do you eat them in Estonia?
@@taijiskitchen Never eaten and didn't know they were eaten. It feels weird to eat them. As a child, I used to play that those greens were macaroni.
The mature stems were used to scour cooking utensils by the Native Americans as well as for medicine along with it being food.
Very nice 👍
thanx so much!
glad you like it!!
Horsetail is commonly found near a water source. I usually find them near the river, ravine or creek.
I'm going to see if I can find any this weekend while I go hiking. I might get a chance to try your recipe!
ya, thats true, in Japan we have them mostly on the riverbanks.
don't know where you live, but it might be a bit too late for horsetail now... in Japan and in Germany towards the end of April is the season.
@@taijiskitchen I'm not familiar with the timing of the plants in the Rocky Mountains (I live in Canada). You might be right though, I could be too late.
Such a crisp noise on picking the stems!
I don't think Horsetail ferns are endemic here in Australia (or if they'd be an edible type if they are) but we can get a variety of fiddlehead type ferns via plant nurseries (some of which has an edible young leaf bud).
People considering foraging - remember it is very wise to go out with a local who knows the plants of your area to make sure what you find is both edible and legal to pick depending on your area and country.
No, horsetail isn't native to Australia. But people plant them as an ornamental, so maybe you can "forage" a friend's yard?
I am soo curious about this plant when watching Chibi Maruko Chan😂 but the voiceover using Indonesian language, and I was what it is...finally i found it after translating the episode title. It looks interesting and i'm keen to try it🤔
Great video. I live on the edge of a dry peat bog with lots of horsetails. If the economy implodes, local flora might keep people alive. And like they say, bitter is better.
wow, really? where do you live??
I would assume that horsetails do have nutrient but probably do not have much calorie, unfortunately.
Making Miso soup from the water, which I presume has goodness(?)and you have 3 dishes. How yin/yang are they?What nutritional value or medicinal effects?
Quick question, do you want to harvest when the horsetail tips are white or green? Does it matter? Thanks!
I pick them up both. when it is still green, it means that the spores are not open and this will give good bitter flavor. but having too much of it might be too bitter, so having white (open, thus no spores) horsetails are also good.
@@taijiskitchen Thanks
oh, ich dachte immer Schachtelhalm sei giftig
I watched this After seeing doraemon episode
was the Doraemon episode contained something about horsetail?
