- Apply a strong torch flame to the surface of the sundae to deeply infuse smokiness.

Cooking tips 💡
- The outer membrane of the makchang becomes increasingly savory and chewy the longer it’s grilled, so achieving a crisp exterior is key.
- Using perilla oil instead of regular cooking oil helps eliminate the characteristic off-odor of makchang while amplifying its rich, nutty flavor.
- Enjoying the sundae wrapped in perilla leaves with a mix of tangy chujang or salty ssamjang and spicy cheongyang chili peppers ensures a balanced, non-repetitive taste experience.
