Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The deep umami flavor naturally released from the anchovies means you don’t need additional seasonings like fish sauce—just soy sauce is enough for a rich taste.
  • After adding the perilla leaves, cover and simmer on low heat so the seasoning fully penetrates every part of the leaves.
  • Briefly microwaving the dried anchovies removes excess moisture, resulting in a clean, savory, and nutty flavor without any fishiness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly and easily use up leftover perilla leaves and onions in the fridge to make a basic side dish.
  • People looking for a savory, non-salty, mildly flavorful stew that offers a gentle umami richness.
