Cooking tips 💡

• Slicing the vegetables as thinly and finely as possible will prevent the seasoning from separating and allow it to adhere well to the perilla leaves for a tender texture.
• If making this as a side dish to store for a long time, it's recommended not to add sesame oil, as it can easily oxidize and alter the flavor.
• If you don't have enough sauce for the number of perilla leaves, you might face difficulties during cooking, so spread about half a spoonful at a time from the beginning.
• If you plan to eat this with children, omit the Cheongyang chili peppers or reduce the amount of red pepper flakes to adjust the spiciness.
