Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- tuna can 1 can
- green onion 1/2 stalk
- water 2.5 cups
- dried anchovy sauce 1 tablespoon
- soybean paste 1/2 tablespoon
- gochujang 1/2 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon
- beef bouillon 1/4 tablespoon
- rice 1 bowl
- thin noodles 1/2 serving
- perilla leaves 5~6 pieces
- perilla seed powder a little
Recipe 🍳
- Place all the oil and flesh from the tuna can into a clay pot, then add half a green onion cut into coarse pieces.
- Gently heat the tuna oil, stirring carefully to avoid burning, allowing the distinctive aroma of fish stew to develop.
- When the green onion has lost its freshness and the tuna's moisture has evaporated, leaving a dry texture, pour in 2.5 cups of water (measured by a disposable cup).
- Add 1 tablespoon dried anchovy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon soybean paste, 1/2 tablespoon gochujang, 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1/4 tablespoon beef bouillon to season thoroughly.
- Once the broth begins to boil, add 1 bowl of rice and 1/2 serving of thin noodles, stirring continuously to prevent sticking, and cook until the noodles are fully done.
- As the noodles absorb the broth and the liquid thickens from the released starch, sprinkle torn perilla leaves and a pinch of perilla seed powder to finish.
- In a clay pot, add the tuna can and green onion with oil, gently sautéing to bring out the fish stock-like aroma.
- Add water and seasonings such as soybean paste, gochujang, anchovy sauce, bouillon, and minced garlic; simmer briefly.
- Add rice and thin noodles, cook until thickened, then finish with perilla leaves and perilla seed powder.
Cooking tips 💡
- The key step is thoroughly heating the tuna oil with the tuna and green onion—this process brings out the deep, savory umami and authentic fishy richness essential to the dish.
- Since thin noodles and rice quickly absorb the broth, if it becomes too thick, gradually add more water while adjusting seasoning to maintain the right consistency.
