Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the pesto is too thick and doesn't blend well, gradually add more olive oil to adjust the consistency.
  • 'Anchovy fish sauce' wonderfully replaces the Parmesan cheese and salt in Italian pesto, creating a harmonious explosion of Western and Korean savory flavors.
  • Store the finished perilla pesto in an airtight container, covering the surface with a thin layer of olive oil, and refrigerate. It can be used in various dishes for up to a week.

Recommended for

  • Those who love basil pesto pasta but find the expensive ingredients burdensome and want to substitute with perilla leaves from the fridge.
  • Those who want to easily whip up a unique and sophisticated noodle dish for wine pairing or a home party.
