Add to Soups and Broths:
Thicken soups: Stir perilla powder directly into Korean noodle soups or vegetable soups to create a nutty, creamy broth.
Bloom the powder: Mix the powder with a little hot liquid first so it blends smoothly without clumping.
Make Porridge or Congee:
Cook with rice: Grind the seeds and simmer them with white rice and water to make a comforting porridge or rice congee.
