Cooking tips

  • Use only the white part of the scallion, as the green leaves can release bitter juices.
  • When mixing in the tuna, avoid pressing too hard—gently fold to prevent mashing and keep the dish clean and neat.
  • For maximum nutty aroma, grind or crush the whole sesame seeds into powder rather than using them whole.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to use up overly fermented or old kimchi in a delicious way.
  • People seeking a quick, no-cook side dish ready in 10 minutes without turning on the stove.
  • Fans of the rich umami from tuna cans paired with the crisp, clean texture of rinsed kimchi.
