Cooking tips

Stir-frying the spicy tuna and gochugaru in scallion oil first creates a deep, smoky flavor and red pepper oil reminiscent of Chinese-style jjamppong without the need for complex seasoning.
If you're unsure about water measurement, use the empty spicy tuna can as a measuring cup and fill it once — perfect broth consistency.
If you don't have gukganjang or myeolchi aekjeot on hand, simply season with salt for a clean taste.
