Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cutting the spicy perilla peppers in half allows the seasoning to penetrate deeply and shortens cooking time. The seeds won’t scatter messily, so there’s no need to forcibly remove them.
  • Avoid using store-bought mirin or cooking wine—they tend to be overly sweet and can throw off the balance of the dish. Always use clean, crisp dry sherry for best results.
  • Since this is a ground meat stew, sprinkling black sesame may cause the sauce to look messy. Instead, enhance the dish with just sesame oil for a clean, aromatic finish.

Recommended for

  • Those who need a surefire side dish to quickly finish a bowl of rice when lacking appetite.
  • People sensitive to pork odors seeking a clean, high-quality braising technique.
  • Anyone looking for a satisfying, long-lasting side dish for a week’s worth of packed lunches.
