Kim Dae-seok's Perilla Stem Pickle

A carefully crafted perilla stem pickle with a subtle, refreshing sweetness from licorice and jujubes, remaining crisp and not overly salty even after one year.

Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not blanch perilla stems longer than 2 minutes—overcooking will make them soft and mushy, losing their crispness.
  • Peeled perilla stems turn brown quickly when exposed to air, so always submerge them immediately in cold water to preserve their vibrant green color.
  • Leave the licorice root in the brine; removing it will prevent the development of a rich, subtle umami flavor over time.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a pickle that stays crisp and not salty for a long time.
  • People seeking a deep, refined flavor enhanced by the subtle sweetness of licorice and jujubes.
  • Home cooks looking to use seasonal perilla stems to create a hearty, year-round side dish.
