You can also “pickle” these leaves. Seasoned perilla leaves go really well with just plain steamed rice.

Marketman, you are so lucky! At Php 30 per pack those are a steal! Wrap them around grilled liempo seasoned with just salt and pepper with some slivered chili and garlic, or kimchi, chives and blanched bean sprouts for an awesome Korean-style meal. ^_^

MM, my favorite! ! It is good with grilled meats and kimchi fold in the edges and dunk in you mouth….Koreans preserve it with soy sauce etc and serve it as side dish. .banchan.

Hey! You’re right, these are actually not real sesame leaves. In Japan and Korea they are sometimes referred to as “wild sesame” but they are actually a kind of shiso leaf.

i buy them at my suking korean grocery here in davao and they cost about 10 pieces for P20. i prefer the crunch of lettuce with grilled meat though.

These have a slightly minty aftertaste. It would make a great wrap in place of nori for sushi.

Oh, so it is now available here. I first tasted it on a trip to Korea and I liked it with the grilled meats served to us.
