A versatile tuna ssamjang made by stir-frying ssamjang and tuna in scallion and onion oil, savory and slightly spicy.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using the green parts of scallions rather than the white stems gives more volume and a crunchy texture after simmering.
  • Start with the pan cold and not preheated to prevent the vegetables from burning and to extract a clean, fragrant oil.
  • Once cooled, store the finished tuna ssamjang in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It keeps well for 1 to 2 weeks as a handy side dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to deliciously use up leftover scallions, onions, and ssamjang after a camping or BBQ party.
  • Those who want a savory rice thief sauce that can finish a bowl of rice just by mixing it in, without any other side dishes.
  • Those who want to make a savory and umami-packed ssamjang to accompany lettuce wraps or steamed cabbage wraps.
