This Man's Cook Perilla Leaf Steamed Dish

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Using maltose syrup instead of sugar helps maintain sweetness and viscosity, preventing the sauce from dripping off the perilla leaves and allowing it to adhere closely, enhancing depth of flavor.
• Overheating causes the perilla leaves to lose their vibrant green color and become tough, so strictly follow the '1-minute heating, 1-minute resting' rule.
• Avoid stacking all 100 perilla leaves in a single straight line, as this creates uneven height; divide into sections of 50 or alternate stacking directions for better marinade absorption.
