Cooking tips

  • Using soju can leave a bitter alcohol aftertaste; opt for clean and slightly sweet cheongju instead.
  • The key to deep flavor is the generous amount of minced garlic, so don't skimp—use the full amount.
  • Add sesame oil only after microwaving to prevent its aroma from evaporating during cooking.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a high-efficiency side dish that can be made in 5 minutes without using the stove on a hot day.
  • Those who enjoy the harmony of fragrant perilla leaves, pungent garlic, and the luxurious crunch of pine nuts.
