Cooking tips
- Do not boil kelp and tuna flap over high heat for too long, as this can cause bitterness and excessive extraction; always monitor the heat carefully.
- For easier cleanup, place the tuna flap in a broth bag while simmering—this allows you to easily remove it without straining through a cloth.
- Once cooled, store the finished broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it as a universal base for various soups, stews, and braised dishes.
