Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When stir-frying the pork, add the soy sauce and tuna extract early and cook as if searing—this eliminates any pork odor and infuses deep umami.
  • Adding half a cup of water at the end and simmering ensures the sauce stays soft and spreadable even after cooling, rather than becoming stiff.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several months and use in various mixed rice dishes.

Recommended for

  • Those who need an all-purpose seasoning sauce to quickly mix into rice when appetite is low.
  • Those living alone who want to make a long-lasting, essential side-dish sauce to keep in the fridge.
