Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The flour slurry in the marinade is key—it balances the saltiness of the soybean paste and helps the seasoning adhere smoothly to the perilla leaves.
  • Onions can release excess moisture, so it’s best to add only the amount needed for immediate consumption.
  • Letting the pickle sit at room temperature for one or two days allows natural moisture from the perilla leaves to blend harmoniously with the marinade.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a distinctive, savory alternative to the usual soy sauce-based perilla pickle.
  • Home cooks interested in learning how to use flour slurry to create a non-salty, smooth pickle marinade.
