A simple and refreshing perilla stem side dish with minimal fish sauce, enhanced by soy sauce and a touch of vinegar for a crisp, non-greasy flavor.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using too much anchovy sauce can make the dish taste like kimchi, so increase the soy sauce ratio to preserve the fresh, light character of this side dish.
  • The half tablespoon of vinegar enhances overall savoriness and appetite appeal rather than adding sharp acidity.
  • Using corn syrup instead of sugar ensures the dressing adheres smoothly without separating, giving the dish a glossy sheen.
  • Avoid pressing or pounding the perilla stems hard with your hands, as this may release a strong green aroma; instead, gently pat and mix with fingertips.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a spicy-sour side dish to cut through the richness of meat dishes or greasy foods.
  • People who want a ready-to-eat 'instant kimchi' without any pickling process, finished in just 10 minutes.
