Cooking tips 💡

• If you don’t remove the tough outer skin from the perilla stems, the texture will be very chewy—peel immediately after blanching.
• Clumped leaves won’t absorb seasoning well—make sure to separate them one by one before tossing.
• The natural bitterness of perilla pairs perfectly with the rich, earthy base of doenjang.
