Kim Dae-seok's Perilla Stem Side Dish

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.
