- 2 Tbsp soup soy sauce (Guk-ganjang)
- 1 Tbsp regular soy sauce (Jin-ganjang)

- 1 Tbsp sugar

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making this fragrant perilla kimchi! It’s a super simple recipe that anyone can follow.
Step 2
First, gently wash the perilla leaves under running water. After washing them thoroughly, place them in a colander to drain completely. This ensures the seasoning adheres well and prevents the leaves from becoming mushy.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of broth with 2 tablespoons of soup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of regular soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, some chopped green onion, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Stir everything together with a spoon until well combined. Your flavorful seasoning is ready!
Step 4
Take the drained perilla leaves and carefully spread the prepared seasoning onto each leaf. Layering the leaves and spreading the sauce in between will help the flavor penetrate thoroughly, making it even more delicious. Once you complete this step, your perilla kimchi is simply made!
Step 5
Voila! Once the leaves are slightly wilted, your delicious perilla kimchi is ready to eat. Since it’s made fresh, the natural fragrance of the perilla leaves is wonderfully preserved, making it a perfect side dish for any meal. Enjoy!
