Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Regular lettuce wilts quickly and becomes soggy, so use romaine lettuce for its firm texture and long-lasting crunch—the key to success.
  • When washing perilla leaves, bundle 6–7 leaves together by their stems and gently swish them in water to easily remove debris.
  • Avoid overloading the lettuce and perilla leaves with seasoning, as it can cause them to lose freshness and become overly salty. Use the back of a spoon to lightly brush the seasoning across the leaves and liquid.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to refresh their table with a fresh, zesty twist instead of regular lettuce wraps.
  • People who want to make kimchi in just 15 minutes without using a blender or grinding herbs.
