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.
