This recipe is based on an old favorite from the Fine Cooking Magazine archives. I made modifications based on flavors I love, swapped and added alternate ingredients, and added a squeeze of lemon at the end for brightness.

I hope you like the video, too. Take note of the small potted plant next to my sink. It was a tiny purple shiso leaf plant (also known as perilla) at the beginning of the summer. I’ve included a picture of what it looks like three months later (on right). Isn’t it amazing how it has grown so quickly?

Here’s the video on YouTube:
