Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- sundae 1 pack (400g)
- cabbage 1/4 head
- onion 1/2 medium
- green onion 1 stalk
- perilla sprouts 1 handful
- perilla seed powder 2 tablespoons
- vegetable oil 2 tablespoons
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- red pepper powder 2 tablespoons
- soy sauce 1.5 tablespoons
- mirin 1 tablespoon
- gochujang 1 tablespoon
Recipe 🍳
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, minced garlic, red pepper powder, soy sauce, mirin, and gochujang in the specified amounts, and mix well to make the secret sauce.
- Cut cabbage, onion, and green onion into large pieces, and slice the sundae into bite-sized, thick pieces.
- Heat a pan over high heat, add vegetable oil, then add the prepared vegetables and sundae. Stir-fry briefly until lightly browned.
- Add the prepared sauce to the pan and stir continuously until the ingredients are evenly coated and the sauce is fully absorbed. (If stirring is difficult, use a spatula or spoon to gently turn the ingredients.)
- Once the sundae and vegetables are cooked through, add the fragrant perilla sprouts and stir just once to wilt them.
- For extra flavor, generously sprinkle toasted perilla seed powder over the dish and quickly toss before turning off the heat.
- Mix all sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Cut cabbage, onion, green onion, and sundae into convenient serving sizes.
- Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry vegetables and sundae.
- Add sauce and stir gently to avoid burning.
- Finish by adding perilla sprouts and perilla seed powder.
Cooking tips 💡
- Avoid slicing the sundae too thin, as it may break apart during stir-frying; thicker slices keep the texture clean and satisfying.
- Do not add perilla seed powder at the beginning—it can become greasy and heavy. Add it only at the very end to preserve its rich, nutty aroma.
