Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- tuna can (small) 1 can
- gochujang 1 tablespoon
- sugar 0.5 tablespoon
- vinegar 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 0.5 tablespoon
- sesame oil 1 tablespoon
- hulled sesame seeds 1 tablespoon
- rice 1 bowl
- perilla leaves 6~7 leaves
- green chili 1 piece
- egg 1 piece
Recipe 🍳
- Transfer all the tuna meat and its flavorful oil from the can into a bowl (if the oil feels too rich, strain it lightly through a sieve).
- Add 1 tablespoon gochujang, 0.5 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 0.5 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon hulled sesame seeds to the tuna. Mix thoroughly until the gochujang is evenly distributed, creating a spicy-sour marinade.
- Rinse the perilla leaves under running water, trim the stems, and finely chop them.
- Dice 1 green chili thinly and finely for a sharp kick.
- Place warm rice in a serving bowl, then generously top with the chopped perilla leaves and green chili.
- Finish by adding the prepared red tuna gochujang sauce and a savory fried egg on top.
- Mix gochujang, sugar, vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and hulled sesame seeds into the tuna can to make the custom sauce.
- Chop perilla leaves and green chili into bite-sized pieces.
- Place rice in a bowl, then add perilla leaves, green chili, tuna sauce, and fried egg. Mix and enjoy.
Cooking tips 💡
- Perilla leaves wilt quickly and pair exceptionally well with tuna, so feel free to use more than the guideline amount—it will taste much better.
- If perilla leaves aren’t available, substitute with leftover greens like lettuce, scallions, or cabbage from your fridge.
