Step 1
【Red Shiso Juice】Remove the red shiso leaves from the stems, wash them thoroughly in several changes of water to remove dirt and debris, then drain in a colander.
Step 2
【Red Shiso Juice】Place water (1500ml) in a large enamel, stainless steel, or glass pot, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
【Red Shiso Juice】Once boiling, add the washed red shiso leaves a little at a time, pressing them down. Once it returns to a boil, simmer over medium-low to medium heat for 5 minutes.
Step 4
【Red Shiso Juice】Turn off the heat and strain into a bowl to collect the cooking liquid. Use a spatula to squeeze the leaves tightly to extract all the essence (save the squeezed leaves for the furikake).
Step 5
【Red Shiso Juice】Return the strained liquid to the pot. When pouring the final portion, use a tea strainer to ensure no fine particles get into the pot.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
⚠️ For making the juice, always use pots resistant to acid, such as enamel, stainless steel, or glass. Aluminum, iron, or copper pots may react to the acid, causing a metallic taste or discoloration.
💡 Ensure the citric acid used is sold as 'food grade' (edible) at pharmacies or supermarkets. Do not use cleaning-grade citric acid.
🍳 When making the furikake, turning off the heat to let the pan cool slightly before adding seasonings prevents them from evaporating instantly and ensures the flavor is evenly distributed.
