Cooking tips
- The liquid from the canned squid can have a fishy smell, so be sure to drain it and use only the squid pieces.
- The oil from the canned tuna contains umami, so don't discard it; add all of it to the pot.
- The consistency will thicken considerably as it cools, so it's best not to over-reduce it to the point of being too dry.
- If desired, you can add seaweed flakes at the end and mix with rice for an even more savory and delicious meal.
