This Man's Cook Stir-fried Perilla Leaf Namul

Cooking tips 💡

• If you don't separate the blanched leaves one by one and fry them in a clump, the seasoning won't penetrate evenly and will form lumps.
• Use chopsticks when stir-frying to spread the leaves apart; this prevents the namul from becoming tough and ensures even cooking.
• Perilla oil is delicate at high heat, so use medium or low heat to gently fry and preserve its aroma.
• Crushing whole sesame seeds between your fingers before adding them, rather than using them whole, maximizes the nutty flavor.
