(the other recipe in the video is Kkaennip-jangajji)

Kkaennip (perilla leaves) are one of my favorite vegetables. They have a real good flavor, like mint, so they are used for so many Korean dishes. Whatever you make with kkaennip, it will be precious dish because you will have to take care of each leaf one by one! The taste is awesome! Enjoy the flavor of each leaf while eating it with your rice!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and drain 135 grams (about 3 cups) of perilla leaves and put them into a basket.
    *tip: wash both sides of each leaf in running cold water and shake to drain waterwashing perilla leavesperilla leaves

  1. Spread some paste between the leaves.
    *tip: You don’t need to put paste on every leave but every 2 leaves

    I am a fan of Korean dishes. Especially Kimchi and Sam Guip Sal. I live in Ortigas, Philippines. I just like to know if there any Korean grocery sell Perilla Leaves in Ortigas.. I like to try making Kkaenip-kimchi.

    Hi Maangchi, I am keen to try this recipe, however before I start, I was wondering, once I have made this perilla leaf Kim chi, how long will it keep in the fridge before going bad? Thank you for your time, :)

    I’m going to try making the kkaennip kimchi today! Yesterday I bought perilla for the first time :) it’s only available seasonally at the Korean market I like to shop in. The owner gave me a discount because some of the leaves had darkened–are those okay to use (just not pretty) or are they not usable? Thanks, Maangchi!

    The perilla leaf pickles are so delicious! I made little bundles of the pickled leaves stuffed with rice and tofu for my lunch box. Thank you, Maangchi.

    Emily, I made fried perilla leaves last night! I cheated…used ready made vegetable pancake batter and deep fried them which took literally 5 seconds for each one.

    Mom actually adds batter and sun dries them, so she can store it until ready to fry. I made them for a dinner party last night and everyone LOVED the flavor. It’s one of my favorites for sure.

    I plan on growing it myself this spring.

    Our kkaennip from the garden has been used for kalbi and bulgogi all summer. It’s supposed to freeze tonight, so I picked and picked…and picked the remaining leaves. I just made kkaennip jangajji for the first time. My Korean husband took one bite and said, “Impressive!” Ha, he didn’t know a midwestern girl could make such great banchan. THANK YOU! Can’t wait to try more!!!

  11. Kkaennip jangajji recipe would be the original way of making regular kkaennip right? If I want it more tastier do I put more soy sauce?

  12. mokpochica Michigan joined 1/09 & has 89 comments

    I made both of these today after finding homegrown kkaennip at my Korean grocer. I had to improvise on the jangajji because I didn’t have an apple (I added apple juice instead) and I forgot the green peppers. I love that flavor, so I’m disappointed to forget it, but the kkaennip taste good all the same. I think it all turned out well. I’m waiting for hubby to get home to try them now.

    Maangchi!! I have two types of Perilla plants in my garden. One has green leaves (like in the video), but the other ones are beautiful, purple leaves. Can I use the purple leaves for the Kkaennipp kimchi? Or can I only use the green ones…

    I bet purple kkaennip kimchi would have a very cool color!! but I don’t want my kimchi to go bad because of the wrong type of plant.

    • Maangchi New York City joined 8/08 & has 12,045 comments

      yeah, purple kkaennip sounds good to me. Make kimchi or jangahjji (pickles). yummy! “I don’t want my kimchi to go bad because of the wrong type of plant.” Edible plants! baby! : )

        The more the purple the better. Perilla contain 23% of the daily calcium and 43% of vitamin C in a 100mg serving.

        Also great steaped in water and drank as a tea. Great for stomach aches, balancing chi, anti-inflamatory and great for bug bites (apply leaf directly).

    Thanks sooooo much for posting these recipes. It’s at this time of the year, when my backyard is getting overgrown with giant Khaennip and Shiso plants, that I really begin to worry about how to use up all the leaves. Now I can keep these for a long time and I won’t feel guilty. Thank You!!!!!!

    • Maangchi New York City joined 8/08 & has 12,045 comments

      Thanks! Reading your post makes me look up my blog posted last year. https://www.maangchi.com/blog/buying-perilla-leaves

      That’s cool you are growing kkaennip in your garden. I’m looking forward to buying huge amount of kkaennip this year from the lady on my blog. I gotta go to Flushing to find her. : ) This year, if I find her, I should get her phone number to do some kkaennip event in the future. : )

      Good luck with making delicious pickles or kimchi.

    Hey Maangchi,
    I absolutely love all of your food and i have made a bunch of stuff. This recipe looks amazing and i really want to try it!!
    But what I wanted to know was what camera you use to take pictures of your food, because I love the quality and it makes the food look so delicious!
    Please get back to me.
    =)

    Hi Maangchi, thank you for all the great recipes. I have tried making many dishes with great success, eg. kimchi, samgyetang, ddokbokkie, miyuk guk, Ohjinguh bokkeum, Naengmyeon, jeon…
    I have finally gotten my hands on some perilla seeds and now have 10 plants growing in pots in my kitchen. When I can harvest sufficient leaves, I will try making janggajji. I loved it, although I have always eaten it from the can. I really can’t wait to try… I am sure homemade tastes better!
    I have also eaten perilla leaf pancakes at a korean friend’s place, but she used the packet pancake mix. Can I also make them with normal homemade batter? Could you tell me the proportions?
    Thanks.

      You can add your photos of perilla leaves!

      “she used the packet pancake mix. Can I also make them with normal homemade batter? Could you tell me the proportions?”
      I never like the taste of pancake mix. ?? Did she make pancakes with chopped perilla leaves? Anyway check my most recipe kimchi pancake recipe. You may have an idea from the recipe. https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/kimchijeon

      • FoodFan joined 7/10 & has 2 comments

        Hi Maangchi, thanks for the prompt reply.
        My friend made perilla leaf pancakes by coating a single whole leaf with the batter and then into the pan to fry.
        I figured that if I were to ask one person regarding how to make the batter, it would be you, maangchi! :)
        And I have seen the kimchijeon recipe. Really mouthwatering! Alas, I don’t have any kimchi at hand, since I share my refrigerator with a German girl and I try not to overpower it with kimchi smell…
        Thanks.

  18. THANK YOU, THANK YOU very much for doing this video. i try explaining this to my friend but she dont understand me…. now i can email her the link … hehhehehe

    i cant wait to try this !!!

    thank you so much, i am looking forward to exploring your site and learning more how to cook korean! Food.

  19. How long will the perilla kimchi last in the refrigerator. I grow my own perilla, in the yard and in the house. Any use for the seeds? I am collecting them on my plants. I also use your perilla kimchi for an addition on sandwitch, pulled pork, hamburger ect. Really good, Thanks for your work.

  20. mangchi can you share with us how to cook that they so called “sadengi” with dulkekaru,

  21. Maangchi!
    I made this and my family loved it.

    But… I washed the perilla leaves and left them in the refrigerator undried for a couple days and they turned discolored on the edges.
    I was wondering if its okay to just eat it without cutting off the discolored parts on the edges. I cut them off but it took a long time and I was wondering if I have to do it next time too if it happens again.

    Thanks again for everything.

    • Maangchi New York City joined 8/08 & has 12,045 comments

      Yes, perilla leaves are bruised very easily especially when they are wet. I usually roll them up in the newspaper and put them in a plastic bag before putting in the refrigerator.
      You can eat them after removing the discolored parts.

  22. Hello Maangchi,

    I went to the market and I saw 2 different types of leaves that look very similar to perilla leaves. They are both the same shape, but one of them is green on both sides, the other was green on top and purple on the bottom. For the perilla leaves you used for this recipe, is it the one with purple and green? the names for them were written in Korean in the market I went to so I don’t really know which one to buy. (maybe next time i should just take a bite out of both to see which tastes better) Are perilla leaves also known as sesame leaves? I hope to hear from you soon.

    hi maangchi,

    i saw this plant selling as a seedling in a korean supermarket earlier during spring time and was very tempted to buy a small plant for home. i wasn’t sure though, if i should considering i know very little about keeping this plant. i’m not sure if you’ve ever kept this plant in your home/garden before but i was wondering if it is a perennial plant in toronto and if it continuously grows if kept indoors. i was thinking either to plant it outside or in a pot indoors seeing as finding the leaves in the grocery store is not consistent.

    thank you!
    deborah

  24. hi maangchi
    i finally bought his from an Hmart like 2 hours away (^_^)

    oh and i was wondering about the spelling of 깻잎, shouldn’t be spelled as “깬잎”? ahah im very curious since im learning korean :]]

    thx 안녕!

  25. Hi M,

    Another mouth watering recipe.Wish i can find this leaves.Btw,you look extra extra beautiful….

  26. You make everything look so yummy and easy:) I think I wanna go to korean market to buy some perilla leaves now!

  27. Gina Redondo Beach, California joined 8/09 & has 20 comments

    Hi Maangchi!

    I would like to request a good recipe for radish jangajji, with radish, cucumber and jalapeno peppers. And how about a recipe for other types of “jeon” like stuffed peppers, and “donggurangddaeng” :-)

    Thanks for the new recipe!

  28. Hi Maangchi!
    Where do you buy your perilla leaves? I live in NYC too :]

  29. Libelle& has 30 comments

    Maangchi ssi, annyeong! Looks so delicious! Thanks for another great recipe, the pickled one looks especially yummy. Now I just have to hope I can find Korean Perilla leaves…wish me luck on my hunt! haha ^^

    Kamsahamnida…and you look extra pretty in today’s video!

  30. Hey Maangchi.
    This recipe looks great and I want to try it out..
    There are several Korean markets near where I live: two normal korean markets and one farmer market.
    Do you think they might have it? Usually the two markets don’t have much, usually just typical vegetables that we use, but I’ve never been to the farmer’s market..

    If it isn’t there, could you recommend any other vegetable to use with this recipe?

  31. Cam/ I dont think there is a substitute because the taste of the leaves are so unique and so strong, there is no other leaf like it..

  32. Reinier Rotterdam, The Netherlands joined 2/09

    Again, great video and a new kind of Kimchi!
    Can’t wait to make this.
    I will buy some leaves soon, i need to re-stock on korean groceries anyways :)

  33. cookinggallery& has 12 comments

    I love Kimchi, especially in mandu. I made kimchi a few years ago, but it didn’t turn out well, maybe I need to give it a go one more time and see how it turns out…!

  34. Yay another recipe!
    Its a bit weird to ask for a substitution for perilla leaves in a recipe for perilla leaves…. but i can’t find perilla leaves anywere nearby and the korean style pickle looks really good! Are there any other vegetables that you would suggest pickling in this way?
    Thanks!

  35. Do you think I will have any luck finding these in Chinatown?
    thanks
