Kkaennip
A tier
Kkaennip is the Korean name for perilla leaf—the broad, fragrant wrap green of Korean tables. Same crop as Korean perilla on English menus; the hangul-derived name signals authentic banchan and ssam use. Dip in sesame oil and salt, or use to cradle grilled pork belly. Pickled kkaennip keeps for weeks in the fridge.
