My Green Shiso (Perilla) plants have been growing very well this summer. It’s hard to keep up eating the fragrant leaves, because I am the only one who wants to eat them. I looked for a new way to enjoy Shiso leaves, and found that many people marinate them in Soy Sauce. I instantly thought about adding the delicious Crispy Chilli Oil to it. Today I marinated 12 leaves and they were yummy. I ate all of them for myself with freshly cooked Rice.
