Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always drain excess oil from the tuna cans beforehand to ensure the final dish is clean and not greasy.
  • The 1 teaspoon of finely minced ginger is essential—it effectively eliminates any tuna odor and contributes to the deep, characteristic flavor of this radish stew, so do not skip it.
  • Adding green chilies too early may result in a raw, grassy smell, so add them only in the last 5 minutes of cooking to preserve their fresh, spicy kick.

Recommended for

  • Those who find fish preparation or the fishy aroma of fish stews unpleasant.
  • People who enjoy sweet, soft radish and spicy, tangy braised broth.
  • Home cooks who want to make a hearty main side dish using just canned tuna and radish, ingredients commonly kept at home.
