Recipe
Cooking tips
- Do not soak perilla shoots in salt, as this makes them tough and turns them dark; use them fresh for better texture and color.
- To prevent browning, peel chestnuts and soak them in lightly salted water before slicing.
- Prepare the seasoning paste first, then add the chestnuts at the end and mix gently to preserve their crisp texture.
- Adding all the perilla shoots at once can cause clumping and uneven coating; add them gradually and toss gently to coat evenly.
Recommended for
- Those looking to enjoy a unique kimchi with a crunchy chestnut twist instead of a typical everyday side dish.
- People who want to savor the distinct fragrance of perilla without pickling, enjoying it as a soft, fresh-pressed side dish.
- Anyone interested in learning the secret to a deep, savory seasoning base using kelp broth.
