Main Ingredients- 10 fresh perilla leaves
- 1 stalk of green onion
- 1/2 red chili pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables that will enhance the flavor of your perilla kimchi. Wash and finely chop the green onion. Remove the seeds from the red chili pepper and then mince it finely; this will add color and a touch of spiciness to the seasoning. To maintain a pleasant crunch, mince the red chili pepper to a suitable size rather than making it too fine.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to make the delicious seasoning sauce. In a wide bowl, combine 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, and 1/2 Tbsp gochugaru. For added nutty flavor, generously add 1 Tbsp sesame oil and 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Mix all the seasoning ingredients thoroughly until you have a well-combined, flavorful sauce.
Step 3
It’s time to artfully spread the prepared seasoning onto the perilla leaves. Gently unfold each perilla leaf, which should be washed and patted dry. Using a teaspoon, carefully spoon about 1 teaspoon of the seasoning onto each perilla leaf. Be mindful not to overfill, as too much seasoning can make it too salty. Ensure an even spread for the best taste.
Step 4
Your incredibly simple perilla kimchi, as featured on ‘Sumine Banchan,’ is now complete! You must be surprised by how easy this recipe is, right? Typically, making perilla kimchi involves painstakingly spreading seasoning on each leaf. However, this recipe saves you time while delivering excellent flavor. Now, enrich your dining table with this fragrant and delicious perilla kimchi!
