Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Perilla leaves have a very strong flavor compared to basil, so add enough nuts to balance the astringency and achieve a nutty harmony.
  • Use thin long pasta like capellini (similar to somyeon) to ensure the oil-based sauce clings well without separating.
  • Store leftover pesto in a glass jar, top with a thin layer of olive oil, and refrigerate to prevent browning and extend shelf life for several days.

Recommended for

  • Those who love basil pesto but want to make a homemade version with more affordable and easily available Korean ingredients.
  • Those looking for a unique cold pasta to enjoy cool and fragrant during hot summer days.
  • Those who want to experience the fusion harmony of heavy nuttiness and perilla leaf aroma.
