Main Ingredients- 8 fresh perilla leaves
- 1 cup pancake mix (buchim garu)
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- 3/4 cup cold water
- Grapeseed oil or cooking oil (generous amount)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently wash the fresh perilla leaves under running water. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the batter adhere better. Trim about half of the tough stem from each leaf for easier eating.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of pancake mix and 2 tablespoons of curry powder. The curry powder adds a wonderful aroma and flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of curry powder to your preference.
Step 3
Gradually add 3/4 cup of cold water to the dry ingredients. Whisk the mixture using a whisk or chopsticks until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thick enough to coat the perilla leaves well but not too thick. You can add a little more water if needed to reach the desired consistency.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of grapeseed oil or cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, dip each perilla leaf into the batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Carefully place the battered leaves onto the hot pan. Fry until both sides are golden brown and the batter is crispy. Flip as needed to cook evenly. Enjoy your delicious perilla leaf pancakes!
