It was day three of our trip to Seoul, and we were having dinner at Hanilkwan in Euljiro. One of our banchan was a simple salad of shredded cabbage and kkaennip (깻잎), tossed in a light vinaigrette.
We knew what kkaennip was, due to our steady diet of Korean dramas and food shows, but we had never actually tasted it.
After that meal, The Wife made it a point to eat as much kkaennip as possible. Whenever a plate of it was served, she would always wipe them out and ask for seconds.
She ended up buying 100 leaves in Gyeongdong Market and lovingly hand-carried them on the flight home to Singapore. For the next week or so, we had kkaennip every day.

That salad sounds amazing! Any clue what was in the vinaigrette? It seems like everything I’ve ever had with this plant magically becomes greater than the sum of its parts, so a simple salad with vinaigrette could be amazing
