Okjubu's Mackerel Roe and Perilla Sauce

A versatile rice-boosting sauce that maximizes texture by adding popping mackerel roe to fragrant seasonal perilla sauce.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • For a stronger, sharper flavor, lightly crush the firm, round root part of the perilla (the 'root tip') with the back of a knife before chopping and adding it to the sauce.
  • Avoid pressing too hard on the mackerel roe as it may burst and release juice; always add it at the very end and gently fold it in to preserve its popping texture.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a fragrant, distinctive seasonal side dish to stimulate the appetite.
  • People looking for the ultimate savory condiment to pair with toasted seaweed or bean sprout rice.
