  2. 2

    Mix soy sauce, water, chili flakes, garlic, green onion, and sesame oil for the sauce.

  3. 3

    Layer 3–4 leaves at a time in a pot, brushing a thin layer of sauce between layers.

  4. 4

    Cover and gently steam-braise over low heat for 8–10 minutes.

A day of refrigeration deepens and evens out the flavor.
