"What am I??"




i bought this thinking it was Shiso....but it doesn't look like the Shiso from google images ...

can't quite place the taste of it...very slightly minty..reminds me of indian food....but not sure which spice...

i have made it into a kimchee, thinking it's some kind of perilla leaf, following this

recipe
...but still would like to find out exactly what it is...

any idea anyone???

The shop keeper couldn't tell me the exact name..he just said :"Purple Salad!!!"

hmmm.

It looks like mint, and there are many different types/flavours of mint, so it must be in the mint family I would think.
