Traditional Korean Recipes

Another Kind of Sort Of Kimchi: The Pickled Perilla Leaf.

Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Recipe Difficulty: Very Easy
Servings Amount: 6

Recipe Lead: …for that time you bought this green leaf but had no idea what to do with it…

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (to keep it GF)
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp Korean pepper powder*
  • 1/2 Fresno chili (sliced)
  • 2 scallions (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
  • 20-30 fresh perilla leaves**
  1.  Mix all ingredients together to make brine/dressing.
  2. Place one perilla leaf in an airtight container (like a large mason jar or tupperware).  Spoon a little of the dressing onto the top of the leaf.  It does not need to be neat and it does not need to cover the entire leaf.
  3. Place a second leaf on top of the first one and repeat until all leaves are stacked and covered with dressing.
  4. Pour any remaining dressing over the top of the stack.
  5. Place in fridge for one day and enjoy with rice.

*You can buy Korean pepper powder here.
**This is what perilla leaves look like.  You can buy them at your local Asian grocery store.

The Korean Vegan, Esq.
This is one of my earlier TikTok videos, back when This is one of my earlier TikTok videos, back when this sandwich was on trend. Reposting it because sometimes I need to listen to my own advice. ❤️
Advice from 고모: Heartbreak. Advice from 고모: Heartbreak.
Earlier today, I watched a video of a white man en Earlier today, I watched a video of a white man encourage his 3 year old son to “make fun of his Asian uncle” by pulling the corners of his eyes back into slits.  When confronted by a number of Asians explaining how offensive the video was, he grew defensive, claiming it was “just a little fun.”
.
Several years ago, someone asked me what the big deal was about white people making fun of my eyes.  He claimed, “people make fun of my appearance all the time, I guess I’m just not as sensitive as you.” Being bullied for one’s appearance is always wrong and can definitely be traumatic no matter what. But when that appearance is tied to your ethnicity, and when that ethnicity is outnumbered, that kind of bullying can take on a different level of harm. If someone makes fun of my nose, I may spend the rest of my life hating my nose. But if someone makes fun of my eyes—an attribute tied to my Koreanness—then I not only hate my eyes, I also hate my Koreanness.
.
Bottom line, I never thought that in 2021, I’d have to explain why making “Asian eyes” to an Asian is offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive.  But apparently, it’s a message that continues to be in demand. In lieu of yelling at people, though, I thought I’d just share a story.
.
Finally, a couple translations: “Dominick’s Language” is what I used to call English, because it was the gibberish my Dad spoke at the grocery store. “Sohknehbok” is Korean underclothing, something my grandmother made me wear in summer, lol, because she was always afraid I would catch my death.
.
You can find the recipe for Tteokbokki (or its popular sister recipe, Rabokki) on my blog.
