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.
