Perilla Oil Buckwheat Noodles Recipe 3:2:1 Ratio, Diet Meal

Perilla oil 3, soy sauce 2, tsuyu 1.

With this ratio alone, you don't need to go to a buckwheat noodle restaurant.

✅ Just three seasonings; you can't go wrong if you just remember the ratios.

✅ I will tell you everything, from the noodle boiling time to the number of rinses.

✅ Since it's buckwheat noodles + allulose, it's guilt-free even while dieting.

STEP 1. Shred the perilla leaves (1 minute)

Overlap 5 to 6 perilla leaves, roll them up tightly, and thinly julienne them.

💡 Point: If you slice it too thickly, it won't wrap around the noodles. You need to slice it thinly so that it goes into your mouth together with the noodles.

STEP 2. Grind whole sesame seeds (30 seconds) - Optional

Put 1 tablespoon of whole sesame seeds into a mortar and grind them halfway.

💡 Key Point: Do not grind it completely into powder; grind it only halfway. The chewy texture of the sesame seeds must remain so that the nutty flavor lingers in your mouth for a long time.

⚠️ If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can put it in a ziplock bag and roll it out with a rolling pin.

STEP 3. Boil the noodles (High heat, 4~5 minutes)

Buckwheat noodles are high in dietary fiber, so even if you eat the same amount It keeps you feeling full for a long time.. Diet meal planThis is the reason why I often make it.

Pour at least 1 liter of water into a pot and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is fully boiling, add the buckwheat noodles.

STEP 4. Rinse noodles (cold water, 1 minute)

Drain the boiled noodles in a sieve and rinse them vigorously 5 to 6 times in cold water.

The starch must be completely removed for the noodles to be firm and absorb the seasoning well. At the end, tap the sieve gently to drain as much water as possible.

💡 Key Point: This is the most important part. If any moisture remains, the sauce will become watery and the flavor will drop significantly. Press the noodles firmly with your hands to squeeze out the water.

STEP 5. Add to seasoning and mix (1 minute)

Put the drained noodles into a bowl,

Please add 3 tablespoons of perilla oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of tsuyu, and 1 teaspoon of allulose.

Please mix thoroughly by lifting from bottom to top with chopsticks.

💡 Key Point: The nutty aroma of perilla oil dissipates when heated. Therefore, you will hardly need to use a stove for this buckwheat noodle dish.

STEP 6. Add toppings and finish (30 seconds)

Please top with shredded perilla leaves, dried seaweed flakes, and ground sesame seeds.

(It tastes much better if you grind the sesame seeds, but I just lightly rubbed them between my palms before sprinkling them on.. haha)

🔥 One key line of this recipe:

Perilla oil 3 : Soy sauce 2 : Tsuyu 1, this single ratio is all you need.

📌 Application:

Finely chopped aged kimchi on top → Aged Kimchi Perilla Oil Buckwheat Noodles

Add 1 teaspoon of Buldak sauce → Spicy perilla oil buckwheat noodles

Add half a boiled egg → A hearty and nutritious buckwheat noodle meal

📌 Diet Tip: If you are concerned about the calories in perilla oil, you can reduce the amount to 2 tablespoons and it will still be sufficiently nutty. Alternatively, if you add 1 tablespoon of whole sesame seeds, you can reduce the amount of oil while maintaining the nutty flavor.

📌 Areas for improvement: Since there is a generous amount of perilla oil, it might feel slightly greasy for those who only eat a small amount. In that case, try reducing the perilla oil to 2 tablespoons and adding 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar.
