This Man's Cook's Gochujang-Style Perilla Seed Pickle

A tangy and sweet perilla seed pickle that replicates the taste of a barbecue restaurant, made by boiling soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and water in equal 1:1:1:1 proportions and pouring it over the greens.

Cooking tips

  • Use regular vinegar instead of fruit-flavored varieties for a cleaner, more neutral taste in your pickle.
  • When using whole chili peppers, poke holes in them with a toothpick so the brine can penetrate fully.
  • For the best aroma and crunch, skip the blanching step and use fresh perilla leaves straight from the start.
  • Do not reuse leftover brine for other pickles—discard it after use.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a clean, tangy side dish to serve with grilled meat.
  • People seeking a super simple pickle recipe that finishes quickly as long as the ratios are correct.
  • Home cooks who want a hearty, long-lasting side dish for everyday meals.
