Read More »The fragrant, slightly acerbic nature of perilla leaves is an acquired taste even for some Koreans – it took me years to come around to its one-of-a-kind aroma and essence. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact flavor profile of these greens, but Maangchi notes that the taste of kkaennip is “somewhere between that of basil and mint.” Common applications of perilla leaves include use in stews, as wraps for meat and rice, and pickled into banchan (side dish). Kkaennip cuts through the richness of food well, providing a welcome counterbalance to heartier dishes. And because they are relatively easy to grow, many people – including my grandma — add perilla leaves to their home garden assortment. Speaking of my grandma — she makes incredible pickled perilla leaves, a banchan called kkaennip jangajji. The leaves are layered with a savory, spicy marinade studded with toasted sesame seeds and diced green onions, and once softened, are sublime eaten atop fresh white rice.

The hit of acidity adds a refreshing antidote to an otherwise one-note-rich meal.

It was strangely empowering to land on my own version of this side dish, like putting together pieces of a puzzle I didn’t know I could solve.

After all, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
One small study conducted at Oklahoma State University, for instance, found that people who drank green tea—and not even that much of it; only 4...
