Cooking tips
- The oil inside the gochujang tuna can is packed with rich seasoning—never discard it. Use every drop to enhance the dish’s depth of flavor.
- Sautéing the tuna and gochugaru in oil with the vegetables first helps eliminate the fishy smell of tuna and the raw taste of gochugaru completely.
- For balanced seasoning, mix regular soy sauce and fermented soy sauce in a 1:2 ratio—this combination elevates the umami richness of the broth.
