A fragrant perilla leaf jeon made by wrapping a mashed tofu and equal-parts pork and beef filling in perilla leaves and pan-frying them

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The tofu must be thoroughly squeezed to prevent the filling from becoming soggy and to help it hold together well inside the perilla leaf.
  • Adding flour to the filling helps absorb the juices released from the vegetables and meat, preventing the jeon from tearing or the filling from separating.
  • Since the jeon contains meat, cooking over high heat can easily burn the outside. Cook over medium-low heat, allowing enough time for the inside to cook through completely.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a carefully made, guaranteed delicious jeon dish to serve during holidays or to guests.
  • Those who want to enjoy the perfect harmony of fragrant perilla leaves and savory meat filling.
  • Those who want to easily make perilla leaf jeon that works great as a side dish for rice.
