Ingredients- 150g can of tuna, drained
- 1/2 onion, cut into 6 wedges
- 1/3 stalk of green onion, finely chopped
- 1 Korean chili pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
Seasoning Sauce- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp jin-ganjang (Korean soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp jin-ganjang (Korean soy sauce)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the canned tuna. It’s important to drain the oil thoroughly using a sieve. This step helps reduce greasiness in the stir-fry and enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients.
Step 2
Cut half an onion into 6 wedges. You can cut them into larger pieces for easier handling, or slice them thinly if you prefer them to cook faster. Finely chop the green onion. Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared onion and green onion, and stir-fry until the onion becomes translucent, releasing its aroma. Avoid overcooking until it turns brown; just cook until it softens slightly.
Step 3
Once the onion and green onion are tender and fragrant, add the drained tuna to the pan. Then, add all the seasoning ingredients: 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, and 1 Tbsp jin-ganjang. Be careful not to burn the seasonings as you add them.
Step 4
Using a spatula or spoon, stir well to combine the tuna and seasoning evenly. The key is to break up the tuna clumps as you stir-fry. If you enjoy a spicier dish, finely chop one Korean chili pepper and add it at this stage for an extra kick. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Transfer the delicious tuna and onion stir-fry to a serving plate. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds on top for added nuttiness and visual appeal. Serve hot with rice, either mixed in or as a side dish. This dish is sure to be a favorite for the whole family!
