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

  • Those seeking a special, savory, umami-rich condiment for lettuce wraps.
  • Those wanting to creatively use up leftover tuna cans.
  • Those needing a quick, no-cook side dish to stimulate the appetite.
