Cooking tips 💡

  • When mixing, do not knead too vigorously, as the jelly can easily break; handle it gently.
  • Adding enough perilla oil enriches the slightly bitter taste of the acorn jelly with a nutty flavor.
  • If the jelly has become hard after being in the fridge for a long time, blanch it briefly in boiling water to make it chewy again.
