Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash and dry perilla leaves, and squeeze moisture out of tofu.

  2. 2

    Mix pork, tofu, chopped chives, onion, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper for filling.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin layer of filling inside each leaf and fold in half.

  4. 4

    Dust folded leaves with flour, then coat with beaten egg.

  5. 5

    Pan-fry over medium heat in oil until both sides are golden.

  6. 6

    Once filling is fully cooked, rest briefly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

Tips

Overfilling makes cooking slower and can tear the leaves.
Use a very light flour coating to keep the egg layer thin.
