Perilla Leaf Kimchi (깻잎김치)

깻잎 (kkaennip) is a Korean herb that is quite popularly eaten as a wrap for KBBQ. It’s part of the mint family yet tastes completely different! I would say that it’s more earthy. I love this herb! And though it’s delicious eaten as a wrap, I also love it when made as a kimchi. The best thing about making it as kimchi is that it’s so much easier than other kimchi recipes! You just make the seasoning and slather it on each leaf. That’s it! You should always eat perilla leaf kimchi with rice though since it is very salty on its own.

Roasted Broccolini

I love this dish because it’s quick and easy to make yet so delicious. I referenced Alison Roman’s Roasted Broccolini and Lemon with Parmesan recipe but don’t really follow the amount exactly. The parmesan melts and creates a nice crispy layer while the lemon brightens up the dish all highlighting the flavor of the broccolini.
