Pan-fried perilla leaves stuffed with tofu, shiitake mushroom, carrots, and corn.
Perilla leaves from my mom's garden. :-)
Lightly flour each leaf. Place a spoonful of the tofu stuffing. (Season the stuffing with soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt & white pepper.) Fold it into a triagle and dip into egg wash.
Pan fry over medium low heat.
This seems easy enough to make. It's vegetarian, too. Instead of regular tofu, I think I'll try it with okara (bean curd refuse). Do they stay together well when you fold them into a triangle? (I guess the egg wash helps.) Thank you for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Ai,
ReplyDeleteOkara sounds good! You need to fold in the round parts of the leaf inward then fold up/in the pointy part of the leaf. Will you be making it with shiso?
