Cooking tips
- If the onion is too pungent, you can lightly salt the minced onion, then squeeze out the water with a cheesecloth before using.
- If you don't have chicken radish pickles, you can substitute them perfectly with pickled radish (danmuji) or dill pickles. If you don't have either, add a little vinegar and sugar to the sauce to enhance the sourness.
- When grilling with butter, always maintain low heat to achieve the true essence of a tuna melt: a crispy exterior and a gooey, melted interior.
- Using square-edged bread is easier for filling and flipping in the pan compared to bread with rounded edges.
Recommended for
- Those who want to deliciously use up leftover chicken radish pickles from delivered chicken that are lingering in their fridge.
- Those who prefer warm toast with smoothly melted cheese over typical cold tuna sandwiches.
- Those looking for a nutritious snack for children or finger food to pair with a late-night canned beer.
