Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and prepare all the ingredients needed for the dish. Fresh ingredients and meticulous preparation are the start of a delicious meal.
Step 2
Trim the stem ends of the perilla leaves and roll them up tightly. Then, thinly julienne them into fine strands. Remove the stems from the cherry tomatoes and cut them into halves or thirds.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the flour, raw soybean powder, whole perilla seeds, olive oil, and salt for the noodle dough. Gradually add cold water while kneading the dough with your hands. Knead vigorously, stretching and folding the dough to develop the gluten, until you achieve a smooth and elastic texture.
Step 4
Form the well-kneaded dough into a ball. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or cling film. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to let it rest and become chewier.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing. In a small bowl, add 0.5 tbsp whole perilla seeds for deep flavor, 0.3 tbsp minced garlic (about 1/2 tsp) for aroma, 4 tbsp perilla oil for richness, 1.5 tbsp soy sauce for umami, 1.5 tbsp vinegar for tanginess, and 0.5 tbsp brown sugar for a hint of sweetness.
Step 6
Whisk the dressing ingredients together with a spoon or whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved and all ingredients are well combined, creating a glossy sauce. Your flavorful dressing is ready.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop the rested noodle dough pieces, thinly stretched, into the boiling water. Once the noodles float to the surface, indicating they are cooked, immediately scoop them out and rinse them under cold running water. This step helps maintain their chewy texture. Drain them well in a colander.
Step 8
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained, cooked noodles and the prepared cherry tomatoes. Pour the delicious dressing generously over the top. Gently but thoroughly mix everything together, ensuring the ingredients don’t break apart. This forms the base of your refreshing cold hand-pulled noodles.
Step 9
Prepare a serving plate. Arrange the thinly sliced perilla leaves attractively on the bottom of the plate. The fresh aroma of perilla will complement the noodles beautifully.
Step 10
Carefully place the dressed noodles and tomatoes on top of the arranged perilla leaves. It’s almost ready! Just before eating, mix the noodles and perilla leaves together. Enjoy your savory and refreshing perilla oil cold hand-pulled noodles. Feel free to add ice for an even cooler taste!
