- 500g Korean radish (about 1/3 of a medium radish)
- 2 cans of tuna (drained of oil)
- 1/2 onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully check and prepare all the ingredients needed for the Tuna and Radish Braise. Fresh ingredients are the start of a delicious meal!
Step 2
Cut the radish into slices about 1cm to 2cm thick, not too thick. Arrange the sliced radish neatly in a pot or wide pan, then pour in the prepared 800ml of water.
Step 3
Pour in 8 Tbsp of soy sauce, which is the base for a rich flavor, to ensure it soaks in well.
Step 4
Add 4 Tbsp of soup soy sauce to add a deeper flavor. Soup soy sauce really enhances the dish’s aroma.
Step 5
Add 3 Tbsp of rice wine (mirin) to remove any fishy smell and enrich the flavor of the dish.
Step 6
Add 1 Tbsp of corn syrup for a mild sweetness and glossy finish. You can substitute with sugar or adjust the amount to your preference.
Step 7
Add 5 Tbsp of red pepper flakes (gochugaru) for a pleasant spiciness. This amount should provide a nicely balanced, savory heat. Adjust the spice level to your liking.
Step 8
Thinly slice the onion. (Optional: If you have green onions, thinly slice them on the bias, focusing on the white parts, and add them for extra flavor.)
Step 9
Drain the oil completely from the tuna cans. Removing the oil will result in a cleaner, more delicate taste.
Step 10
Now that all ingredients and seasonings are ready, combine everything in the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. A delicious aroma will soon fill your kitchen!
Step 11
Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the radish to become tender. Once the radish is partially cooked, remove the lid and gently flip the radish pieces with a spoon or spatula, ensuring the sauce is absorbed evenly.
Step 12
When the radish is completely cooked and tender, reduce the heat to low and drizzle in 2 Tbsp of sesame oil. After adding the sesame oil, gently stir to coat the radish without breaking it. As the saying goes, ‘Even attractive food tastes better,’ so presenting it nicely enhances the enjoyment!
Step 13
Transfer the finished Tuna and Radish Braise to a serving dish. Enjoy this delicious dish with a hot bowl of rice. Enjoy your flavorful Tuna and Radish Braise!
