About this dish
This perilla-scented bracken fern namul begins by pre-seasoning 250 grams of boiled bracken with soup soy sauce, minced garlic, and half the perilla oil for five minutes so the flavor seeps into the chewy fibers.

Green onion is sauteed briefly in the remaining perilla oil to build an aromatic base before the seasoned bracken joins the pan for a two-minute stir-fry that drives off excess moisture. Adding water and ground perilla seeds, then simmering gently for five minutes, transforms the dish into a lightly sauced namul where every strand carries a nutty, earthy depth. Sesame seeds scattered at the end add a visual accent and a faint crunch that complements the bracken's dense chew.

Instructions
Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.
- 1Season
Cut 250 g of boiled bracken into 6 cm lengths, then tear any thick and fibrous stems lengthwise with your fingers so the grain opens up and the seasoning can penetrate deeply into each strand.
- 2Season
In a bowl, combine bracken with 1 tbsp soup soy sauce, 1 tsp minced garlic, and 3/4 tbsp perilla oil.
Mix well by hand and let the bracken absorb the seasoning for 5 full minutes.
- 3Heat
Heat a pan over medium and add the remaining 3/4 tbsp perilla oil.
Saute 25 g green onion for 30 seconds until fragrant so the scallion aroma infuses the oil before the bracken goes in.
- 4Control
Add the seasoned bracken to the pan and stir-fry over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the surface moisture fully evaporates and the fern strands turn noticeably chewy.
- 5Control
Pour in 80 ml water and 1 tbsp ground perilla seeds, reduce to low heat, and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces to a thin glaze and a rich nutty aroma rises from the pan.
- 6Finish
Turn off the heat, scatter 1 tsp sesame seeds evenly over the bracken, and fold gently once so the seeds cling to the glossy strands and add a final light crunch to the finished dish.
