We harvested some Korean Shiso and I pickled them in soy sauce. Korean Shiso is a type of herb which is commonly used in Korean cuisine. It has a distinctive flavour and is supposed to be good for the health. Pickled Korean Shiso can be chopped up and placed on tofu as a topping or wrapped around a rice ball.

I thawed frozen tuna and cut it into small cubes, added chopped Korean Shiso pickled with spicy soy sauce and chopped red onion. It was a bit too salty, so I made some Sushi rice to roll up with seaweed (Nori).
