Kim Dae-seok Chef's Perilla Seed Ggangjeong

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Adding a small amount of salt while boiling the syrup enhances sweetness without needing to increase sugar quantity.
• A touch of cinnamon powder complements the nutty richness of perilla seeds, adding depth to the flavor.
• Always lightly coat your hands and tools (knife, rolling pin, parchment paper) with sesame oil to prevent the sticky syrup from adhering.
• Cut the ggangjeong while it’s still warm—once fully cooled, it hardens and becomes brittle, making clean cuts difficult.
