I've never heard it called Beefsteak plant but here in Korea it's fully green and called 캣입, pronounced keh-neep. Used mostly at "beef and leaf" Korean bbq restaurants to wrap meat and other ingredients into a ball and eat. They also soak it in a sauce and offer it as a side dish.
In my garden I have the unique type perilla leaf that it green on the top and purple underneath side of the leaf two color sides the leaf very form and less wrinkle vs with the light green kind , look like there are 4-5 perilla kinds : purple , dark purple , green , bi-color , and I seen the one that staining between green and purple ! Haven’t seen the marble with white marbling with green yet (if there is such a one!)
Dude!!! Thank you so much for sharing this content! This plant was given to me years ago from my aunt who told me it was invasive purple basil🤣🤣. That was about 15 years ago and they are literally all over my 2 acres. I did not know until now that is what it is. I have eaten it, best if eaten young. Thank you again for sharing✌🌱💛
It does look like purple basil ! Haha and growing so much vs purple basil kind which doesn’t grow back every year easily like these perilla leaf , purple basil you have to use weed and germinating them
I love the japanese shiso leaves, it has mild taste when you eat with rice. The purple perilla leaves has a strong taste, but it still good to eat. My garden is filled with the perilla plants .
They are almost an invasive. I'm in 8a. I bought one plant and the next year I had 20 pop up. The year after that (this year)I had even more spread even farther. I don't mind though They are a great survival food and great to marinate with an Asian Soy sauce marinade and then place over pieces of Sushi. Mine are purple on one side and green on the other and taste a little like basil with a minty aftertaste.
It took me 3 freaking years to finally identify perilla! The ones that I have been trying to identify are the ones that have leaves that are green on top and purple on the bottom and they grow everywhere in my neck of the woods!
This plant now grows everywhere in the US and it is extreme toxic to cows, goats, sheep, horses, and other herbivores! Many states are trying to eradicate them due to the danger that they pose to livestock so please don't grow them since they spread like wildfires! If any cows, horses, goats, and sheep eat them they will die!
@@myyellowfeathers I believe it's still called Perilla. In my neck of the wood we have this green on top and light purple on bottom perilla growing all over the mountains, so during the spring time, I transplanted few from the moutain to my back yard. Now that I take care of it, they are growing nicely. I get plenty perilla, so made Perilla Kimchi couple of times this season.
Thnak you for sharing. My elderly neighbour from Japan just gave me this plant from her garden but she only speaks Japanese so I did not know what it was or how to use it. Good to know! I mistakenly took off the flower parts but I guess they are good too
Thank you so much! My bf just came back from a business trip to singapore and told me about this plant. I didn't know and was researching a little yesterday and today I get the notification for your video :-)) !! So awesome, definetly will grow some of these soon :-) Have a great day Hugs from Austria ♡
Thank you for another great video Khang! This is one to follow up on. By the way, 2 inches of fresh snow and still snowing this morning. June planting this season. May put down black poly or cover to hold warmth in the ground this season for direct sown plantings. -Bob...
Coleus is also in the mint family, notice the square shaped stems. I have a different variety very similar to yours. I got them from around my Grandparents home. I guess either Grandma thought they looked nice or maybe was using them for home remedies. I don't know. They are very aggressive and reseed in North Carolina but are easily removed as you said.
Yeah, if you leave seeds in your compost pile a lot of them will survive if your pile is not big enough and hot enough. I did the same thing with amaranth and had plants showing up everywhere I put my compost. I let a lot of them grow but now I do a better job at keeping the seeds out of my compost pile.
Growing the green beafsteak and the purple shiso this year. Amazing. Would love to see a video on how to tell when the seeds are ready to harvest and collect.
I still need to try growing shiso again. Had some red shiso seeds but never got it to germinate. DIdn't know it was also called perilla.I always get it mixed up with orach. It looks like I'm out of shiso seeds but still have orach so gonna give it a try.
Hello, I have grown a green perilla plant in a pot but the leaves have white/brown spots and not a vibrant green color. I think they might be infected. What can I do to naturally get rid of the infection? Thanks!
Very cool. It's awesome that it doesn't spread like mint. That will make it a lot more manageable. Can you show some of your heat tolerant greens, too? I have some new plants I'm trying this year (orach, amaranth, malabar spinach), but I'm always looking for more (unique) things to try.
Khang, I hope you collect seeds from your herbs next year and do a giveaway. I'm interested in all the seeds used in Vietnamese food, which is a lot, I know. But it'd be great if you can do a giveaway on herbs, too. :)
You could also buy a bunch in Asian grocery store , pick out couple leaf from bottom then put a teem in a jal with some water in couple days you could just put the steem down the grown and will grow, when they started seed it fall then will come back in spring. I only do that 2 steam and now it all over. Good drink for summer.
Is the taste significantly different between the purple and the green leaves? I grew up eating the purple. But I’m planning to make a Korean dish and noticed they only use the green leaves. However, I can’t find them in my neighborhood.
I don't know who told it it doesn't spread. it' is very prolific, very hardy and very invasive. They tolerate high temperatures ( as high as 100 in my area) and low temperatures in the south, and they make thousands of seeds. I planted a few plants some years ago ( I ordered green shiso, but they sent me the bicolored one and i was afraid I had the wrong plant so I ignored it and it went to seed. Big Mistake. the next year my back yard was overrun, the next year even more. Even though they are easy to pluck because they are shallow rooted, they are so prolific and hardy, the seeds can be carried far and wide. I'm concerned because I wanted to hire some goats to control weeds in my property, but I found out that this plant is HIGHLY poisonous to cattle, horses, goats, and a bit less toxic to dogs. Fresh plant, but especially the flowers and fruit, when eaten by these animals WILL cause severe lung damage. and even if it is dried, if accidentally mixed with hay will still kill the animals. So I've been going out and pulling up all the ones I can find, but they keep spreading further and further from my yard. I would Warn people to grow this like an invasive mint weed. It will not spread by rhizome true, but will spread by seed. Don't let it go to seed. Pnch it back so you get more leaves and not flowers and seeds. If you want to collect seeds, put a mesh over it to keep it from invading your neighbors yard. otherwise your and their entire yard will be purple with these things. Thank you for the nice video showing all the different types of shiso plants what they look like.
I think green variety is called "kinh giới" in Vietnamese. The one with all purple leaves as well as the top green/back purple leaves are called "tía tô". Never thought "tía tô" and "kinh giới" are different varieties of the same species until I watch this video.
I’ve never bought seeds, but I see baker creek has them. Also, I just saw that this year at Home Depot or Lowe’s that they have them with the other Bonnie plants. I got a cutting years ago, and I just let it go to seed every year. So I never have to plant more, just comes up everywhere
It's called 깻잎 (pronounced GGET-NIP) in Korean. But, it's the green ones that Koreans usually use. Beefsteak is another name for perilla leaves. Shiso is the Japanese name.
I use these to make a sort of Korean dumpling. I use a seasoned beef and dip in an egg batter and fry. So surprisingly DELISH. Maangchi has a video on this recipe. I have no idea what the name is.
If this is the right plant it tastes a little bit like curry yeah? Mine looks like the second variety but I wouldn’t say it tastes like mint. It tastes like something I would put in a curry. It grows really easily. Recon it’s the same??
It is so frustrated!!!! My friend took some for me from China and I put the seeds directly into the pot and waited for at least 2 weeks, none of them came out. Then I bought some seeds from local shop and tried the same way again for 2 weeks....nothing!! Now I set them on a kitchen paper and keep them moisture in a plastic box for almost 10 days. Nothing!!!!!!!!!!! Should I keep going????? What did I do wrong??Please help!!
These are tricky to sprout from seeds. They will sprout when temperature rise above 55F, but they need sun to sprout. If your temperature is below 50's F, thy won't come up. They need warmer temperature.
@@Careless932 I wonder why. It could be that the seeds you have are older seeds, and may require a little more time. I have hundreds of plants growing all over my grass from seeds that drop last year. They came right out of the ground on their own once the temperature reaches 55F
Mr. Khang loves Perilla mint I have a feeling I will too and probably already tasted it not knowing what it was. I want to try some in Vietnamese spring rolls first. Or maybe just as a wrap for rice and dip it in some sauces.

They are popping up all over my garden. So lovely.
Thanks for the info! Had one of these pop up in a bed over the summer and just did harvest some of the seeds in 6a.
80 degrees and up in humid weather is what these love !
I love these things. I love chopping up a bowlful, mixing it with eggs and making just that into an omelette. Yumyum!
I love the japanese shiso leaves, it has mild taste when you eat with rice. The purple perilla leaves has a strong taste, but it still good to eat. My garden is filled with the perilla plants .
Is this plant perennial?

The green type of Perilla grows wild here. Waiting for it to show up so I can make some shiso herb salt with it. 😋
wrap it in an egg roll with choice of fillings and deep fry mmm so good..
I like this video very much!

Fron Brasil 🇧🇷 São Paulo sp I love it shiso!
The purple ones grow wild in my back yard. They call it shiso, it tastes so good.
gang gang not shiso. You can pickle them or eat them with Korean bbq
Yes Shiso
Really appreciated the information. I have this plant. Do suggest to dry the leaves to make tea or can I use it fresh?
Yeah, if you leave seeds in your compost pile a lot of them will survive if your pile is not big enough and hot enough. I did the same thing with amaranth and had plants showing up everywhere I put my compost. I let a lot of them grow but now I do a better job at keeping the seeds out of my compost pile.

Just found your videos. They're great and so informative! I love tia to and I am trying to grow some cuttings in my Aerogarden. I new to hydroponics.
How did you start at the begining? from seeds or plants?
I tried so many time from cutting leaves but have not sucessed .
Do what you momma sat. Love it.

i have seeds now 😋 yum. I hope they germinate. I dont know which variety yet though. I think purple, shiso. They are so pretty too.
It grows easily
They will they are almost invasive
Is it the same as red shiso?
Hello, I have grown a green perilla plant in a pot but the leaves have white/brown spots and not a vibrant green color. I think they might be infected. What can I do to naturally get rid of the infection? Thanks!
Hi, which of the two varieties is more nutritious ? Purple or the Green one ?
Khang would you like to share some seeds of pur purple perilla (?)
Very cool. It's awesome that it doesn't spread like mint. That will make it a lot more manageable. Can you show some of your heat tolerant greens, too? I have some new plants I'm trying this year (orach, amaranth, malabar spinach), but I'm always looking for more (unique) things to try.
My perilla seedlings are growing healthy. Hope they will grow as nice as yours. Used to use it in sauce with shrimp.

does really good in kratky, i have the green ones
May i know the nutrient solution? Thanks!
Must find!! Did you start from seed?
It grows very easily
Try the Asian stores. They usually have seed packets or by their fresh produce which you can start from shoot cuttings.

the ones that grow in my yard is a dark purple no green on it
Just ordered some seeds on ebay, boy they had lots of types, green purple red!
i did buy some seeds 2 years ago and till now no luck with them at all.
Awesome
Coleus and shiso are in the same family lamiaceae, so that's maybe where the confusion comes.
the one thats half green and half pink is called Shiso Britton
