Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 3 Eggs
- 1 can of tuna (small)
- 1-2 pinches of seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Recipe 🍳
- Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add 1-2 pinches of seasoned salt, and whisk well with chopsticks.
- Add the entire can of tuna (with oil) to the egg mixture, then mash the tuna while mixing evenly.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a cold pan and use a paper towel to evenly coat the entire surface.
- Pour the tuna-egg mixture into the pan, then turn the heat to the highest setting and quickly stir to cook the eggs evenly.
- When the eggs are about half-cooked, reduce the heat to between medium and medium-low.
- Gently push the set parts to let the raw egg mixture flow to the edges, cooking for about 30 seconds to 1 minute more.
- Use a spatula to fully cut the jeon into half-moon or quarter shapes for easy flipping.
- Flip each piece and cook until the bottom is golden brown, then turn off the heat and plate.
- In a bowl, mix eggs, seasoned salt, and tuna (with oil) together well.
- Pour into an oiled pan, stir over high heat until cooked, then reduce to medium-low heat.
- Cut into quarters for easy flipping, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Cooking tips 💡
- Tilting the pan in all directions to let the oil flow evenly under the jeon helps prevent sticking.
- Since flipping the whole jeon is difficult, cutting it in half or quarters beforehand makes it much easier.
- It tastes great freshly cooked and warm, or fully cooled and eaten cold as a side dish.
