Ingredients- 70 perilla leaves
- 1 red chili pepper
- 1 green chili pepper
- 1/2 medium onion
- A little carrot
- 100ml dried anchovy broth
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
Sauce Ingredients- 10 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 8 Tbsp dried anchovy broth
- 3 Tbsp chopped green onion
- 10 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 8 Tbsp dried anchovy broth
- 3 Tbsp chopped green onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the 70 perilla leaves thoroughly under running water. It’s important to wash them carefully to preserve their unique fragrance.
Step 2
Trim off the tough stems of the perilla leaves slightly so they absorb the seasoning well. Be careful not to cut too much, or the leaves might break apart.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce for the perilla leaves! Start by adding 10 Tbsp of soy sauce to a bowl.
Step 4
Add 3 Tbsp of red pepper flakes for a touch of spiciness.
Step 5
Add 1 Tbsp of minced garlic for added flavor.
Step 6
Add 2 Tbsp of sugar to bring in a hint of sweetness.
Step 7
Add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma.
Step 8
Finally, add 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds for extra nuttiness.
Step 9
Pour in 8 Tbsp of dried anchovy broth to adjust the sauce consistency. Using broth instead of plain water will greatly enhance the umami flavor.
Step 10
Add the chopped green onion and mix everything thoroughly until the sauce is well combined. This is your delicious sauce!
Step 11
Prepare the vegetables: remove the seeds from the red and green chili peppers and chop them. Slice the carrot and half a medium onion (if large). Adding vegetables makes the dish visually appealing and adds great texture.
Step 12
Mix the prepared vegetables into the sauce bowl. This allows the vegetables to naturally soak up the flavors, making them even tastier.
Step 13
Now, it’s time to layer the perilla leaves in the pot. Place the leaves in the pot, two at a time, overlapping them slightly, and arrange them in a circular pattern from the bottom up. Layering them like this helps maintain their shape and prevents them from breaking.
Step 14
After laying down a layer of perilla leaves, spoon the prepared sauce evenly over them. Layering the sauce between the leaves ensures that the seasoning seeps in thoroughly, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
Step 15
Let’s make the simmering liquid. Combine 100ml of dried anchovy broth with 1/2 Tbsp of soy sauce for soup. Adding a bit of soup soy sauce enhances the umami and color.
Step 16
Pour this broth mixture around the edges of the pot. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat for 1 minute, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for another 4 minutes. This will complete your delicious perilla leaf simmered dish. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 17
This recipe focuses on creating a slightly saucy consistency to highlight the tenderness of the perilla leaves and the harmony of the flavors. The sauce is perfect for mixing with rice.
Step 18
And there you have it – your delicious perilla leaf simmered dish is ready! Enjoy the wonderful combination of fragrant perilla leaves and savory sauce with your meal tonight. Enjoy your meal! ^^
