Deep Fried Perilla Flowers - Fried Perilla Cluster


In the morning and evening, the cold wind was blowing, so small white flowers started to bloom on sesame plant.  A few days ago the small, cute white flowers began to fall off and I used them to make deep fried perilla clusters. When I was living in Korea, I didn't make it - maybe my taste is getting more and more Korean, the longer I live in US.  In fact, these days in Korea, Koreans don't eat them often. Would this be a memorable meal or special dish?
Once a year, you can eat perilla clusters.  Let's try!
