Pan-Fried Perilla Leaves with Scallops (Kkaennip-Jeon)

….Flowers started to bloom on the perilla leaves in my garden. I had fun with the perilla leaves that grew well during this summer. The young perilla leaf buds I got from a friend are growing healthy and well. A few days ago, the friend picked some perilla leaves at my garden. We laughed so much…….hahaha. I was going to pick a basket of perilla leaves and make pan-fried perilla leaves with seafood today. Food made with many ingredients from my garden is much more satisfying. Sharing it also gives me joy. I was going to add some clams as seafood, but I didn’t have it. So I added scallops and whelk meat. It tastes best when eaten hot and all the pancakes sizzling in oil are delicious.
