  2. In a bowl, mix the sliced onion and perilla leaves together and set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine the sauce ingredients: water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and mustard. Mix well until the sugar and mustard are completely dissolved.

  1. Thinly slice the onion and perilla leaves and place in a bowl.
  2. Mix water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and mustard to make the sauce.
  3. Pour the sauce over the sliced vegetables to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If the onion is too spicy, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5-10 minutes, then drain to make it milder and crunchier.
  • Mustard tends to clump, so dissolve it in a small amount of water or soy sauce first before mixing with the rest of the ingredients for even consistency.
  • If you find it troublesome, you can buy a commercial chamsauce (Korean sesame oil-based sauce) as a convenient substitute.
