What's your favorite way to use perilla leaves?

What

I saw these (when they were tiny) when I was at my local Asian market, and I'm dying to use them. Now they are tall and about to flower. I haven't used them yet. ???? What's your favorite way to use them? I know some plants get bitter when they flower, and some get more fragrant.

What's the best way to harvest/prune them?

I've seen them covered with pancake batter and fried, I've seen people pickle them, I've seen people eat them with rice.

How do YOU prepare them? What's your favorite way?
