Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- onion 1 large
- tuna can (small) 1 can
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- soy sauce 2 tablespoons
- mayonnaise 1 tablespoon
- rice 1 bowl
- egg 2 pieces
- mozzarella cheese as needed
- perilla leaves 3–4 leaves
- hot sauce a little
- black pepper a little
Recipe 🍳
- Heat oil in a pan and add finely sliced onion. Stir gently and cook over medium heat until deeply golden brown, without burning.
- Once the onion turns brown, reduce heat to low and pour in the entire tuna can, including the oil.
- Add sugar 1 tablespoon, soy sauce 2 tablespoons, and mayonnaise 1 tablespoon. Cook until moisture evaporates and ingredients blend well. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Smooth the pan bottom, then spread 1 bowl of rice evenly to form a pizza-like base—wide and uniform. Press down firmly to compact.
- Evenly sprinkle 2 beaten eggs over the rice surface to cover all gaps and help solidify the base.
- Distribute the pre-cooked tuna-onion mixture evenly on top, then generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the entire surface.
- Tear 3–4 perilla leaves roughly and scatter them over the toppings. Close the pan lid completely.
- Cook over low heat, allowing the internal heat to melt the mozzarella into a transparent, gooey consistency.
- When the cheese is fully melted, the dish is ready. Serve on a plate and optionally add hot sauce or black pepper to taste.
- Sauté sliced onion until golden brown, then add tuna can, sugar, soy sauce, and mayonnaise to make the tuna topping.
- Spread rice in the pan and evenly coat with beaten egg to create a crisp, stable rice base.
- Layer the tuna mixture, cheese, and perilla leaves in order, then cover the pan and cook until cheese melts completely.
Cooking tips 💡
- Cook slowly over low heat, patiently browning the bottom, to achieve a crisp, toasted edge and crust similar to burnt rice—maximizing texture.
- Cook the onion thoroughly until it develops a deep golden hue to ensure natural sweetness and rich flavor infuse into the tuna seasoning without artificial taste.
