Solo Cooking God Tuna Manna-ni

The ultimate versatile side dish made by using the oil from tuna can as cooking oil, sautéed with finely chopped onions to a sweet-salty balance.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Tuna meat dries out and becomes dry if overcooked, so remove from heat just after the onion turns translucent and the seasonings bubble together—around 1–2 minutes—to preserve moisture.
  • Make a large batch at once, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy anytime as a reliable side dish or universal dipping sauce when you need a quick meal.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a savory, salty-sweet rice-boosting side dish in just 10 minutes using only one tuna can when they have no other sides available.
  • Anyone wanting to smartly use every bit of the rich, umami-packed oil from a tuna can instead of throwing it away.
