Perilla leaf bites with bacon-tamarind caramel from Asian-American: Proudly Inauthentic Recipes from the Philippines to Brooklyn (page 25) by Dale Talde

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Fun, colorful and bursting with flavor! It is very similar to appetizers at several local Thai restaurants except they use spinach leaves. But when I found out that Perilla was also called Shiso I just had to try this because I had a Shiso plant in my herb garden. I made the full batch of the bacon-tamarind caramel and froze the extra in tiny containers for future use. Everyone loves the fun of choosing what to put on their Shiso leaf and then rolling it up and popping it into their mouth where they experience all the wonderful flavors one after another. It is a great party appetizer and really breaks the ice and brings out the kid in every one.
