Recipe

Mix minced green onion, soy sauce, minced garlic, whole sesame seeds, and water to make the marinade sauce, then stir in 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil.
Place two perilla leaves at a time on a cold pan, layering them together.
Spread the green onion bits and broth from the prepared sesame oil marinade evenly over the perilla leaves.
Repeat layering two leaves at a time and brushing with marinade until all leaves are stacked.
Sprinkle whole sesame seeds generously on top, and add a small amount of water around the edges to prevent burning.
Cover the pan and turn on the heat. Steam for just a short time until steam rises and the leaves are slightly wilted.

Mix 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil into the marinade sauce to prepare the perilla leaf seasoning.
On a cold pan, layer perilla leaves two at a time, brushing the marinade evenly on each layer.
Stack the leaves neatly and sprinkle whole sesame seeds on top.
Add a little water, cover the pan, and steam briefly.

Cooking tips

Since the marinade drips down through the layers, avoid applying too much sauce to the bottom leaves.
Overcooking causes the perilla aroma to fade and the texture to become tough, so steam just until the leaves are slightly wilted.
