Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you don't drain the tuna oil thoroughly, the bapjeon dough will become too moist and may fall apart easily while cooking, so be careful.
  • To achieve a crispy, scorched-rice-like texture, cook the bapjeon over a relatively high medium heat, almost like frying, but gently.
  • A great tip is to cover the pan briefly after flipping to let the cheese melt completely and become soft.

Recommended for

  • For those who want to make a special treat that kids will love using leftover cold rice and a can of tuna.
  • For those who want to enjoy crispy exterior like a scorched rice ball and a moist, cheesy lava inside.
