Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pressing hard with your hands can wilt the perilla leaves and release a raw, grassy smell, so toss them gently as if fluffing them to maintain a good texture.
  • Letting the seasoning sauce sit and meld after mixing helps the flavors blend naturally without the seasoning taste standing out.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a clean, sweet-and-sour vegetable salad to serve alongside pork belly or grilled meat.
  • Those who want to make a simple side dish that preserves the crisp texture and aroma of perilla leaves.
