How to prepare dried Gondre:

  2. Then place soaked Gondre into a medium pot, and pour the cold water until it submerged.
  3. Bring it to boil, Lower the heat to medium and continue to boil it for 30 minutes with lid on.   
  4. Turn the heat off, and leave in the cooking water until completely cooled and softened.
  5.  Drain and rinse under cold water. Then squeeze the water out of the leaves. 
  6. Divide them in each 1 cup (rice measuring cup)  portion and keep them in the freezer for the future use except for 1 cup.  
  7. Make rough chops and season the remained 1 portion of boiled Gondre with a drizzle of perilla oil and Soup-Soy Sauce or Salt. Then use your hands to toss and coat them evenly.
