About this dish

With no meat in the pot, the broth takes its savory backbone from oyster and shiitake mushrooms sauteed in perilla oil before the kelp stock goes in.

Ground perilla seed stirred in at the end turns it milky and smooth, and slippery rice noodles glide through the thickened soup. Torn oyster mushrooms and thick shiitake slices supply the chew.

  1. 1

    Soak 320g dried rice noodles in lukewarm water for 20 minutes until softened, then drain in a colander.

  2. 2

    Tear 180g oyster mushrooms along the grain, slice 120g shiitake mushrooms thickly, and julienne 100g onion.

  3. 3

    Heat perilla oil in a pot over medium heat, add the minced garlic, onion, and mushrooms, and cook for 3 minutes to develop flavor and umami.

  4. 4

    Pour in 1200ml kelp water, season with soup soy sauce, and simmer for 8 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully infuse the broth.

    Add the soaked rice noodles and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in 5 tbsp perilla seed powder evenly throughout the broth.

  6. 6

    Simmer for 1 more minute over low heat until the perilla powder fully dissolves into a rich, nutty consistency, then serve hot.

Tips

Add perilla powder near the end to preserve its aroma.
After adding the perilla seed powder, simmer briefly over low heat and stir so it does not clump on the bottom.
