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.
