Cooking tips

  • To prevent clumping and preserve texture, gently break up the chopped perilla leaves with your fingertips while mixing into the filling.
  • When folding the perilla leaves, press firmly to remove air pockets so the pancake holds its shape during cooking and doesn’t open up.
  • Since the tuna filling requires no long cooking time, remove the pancakes as soon as the outer egg coating turns golden—this ensures perfect doneness without drying out.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy the fragrant aroma of perilla combined with the rich yet lean taste of tuna.
  • Home cooks hesitant to make perilla pancakes due to concerns about removing meat juices or lengthy prep times.
  • People looking to use up leftover perilla leaves from the fridge in a delicious and practical way.
