Cooking tips 💡

• If too much liquid from the tuna can gets in, the ssamjang can become greasy, so squeeze it out as thoroughly as possible.
• If the rice cools completely, it won't hold its shape well, so season while it's still warm, let it cool just slightly, and shape it immediately.
• Adding a small amount of vinegar to the rice adds a tangy note that really perks up the appetite in hot summer weather.
