Cooking tips
- Use jochung instead of sugar or corn syrup to ensure the seasoning blends smoothly with the tuna without separating.
- For added richness and crunch, crush nuts like walnuts or peanuts coarsely and mix them in along with the sesame seeds.
- If you don’t thoroughly squeeze out the oil from the tuna can, a fishy odor may develop over time, so be persistent in removing every bit of oil.
Recommended for
