Kim Dae-seok Chef's Eggplant Perilla Seed Salad

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• When mixing the eggplants, always combine all seasoning ingredients together first—adding them separately can result in uneven seasoning. Pre-mixing ensures even distribution.
• Squeezing out as much moisture as possible after steaming prevents the dish from becoming watery or sticky later, preserving its chewy and smooth texture.
• The perilla seed powder added at the end helps absorb any remaining fine moisture and dramatically enhances the dish’s nutty aroma and depth of flavor.
