Main Ingredients- 1 bunch chives (approx. 50g)
- 1 can tuna (approx. 100-150g, drained)
- 3 eggs
Seasonings & Others- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (deulkireum)
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (deulkireum)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Make a generous batch for easy kid-friendly side dishes! Adults can enjoy it piled high on rice for a satisfying donburi. However, for the freshest and most delicious taste, it’s best to make small portions as needed.
Step 2
First, lightly grease a frying pan with cooking oil and heat it over medium-low heat. Be careful not to let the pan get too hot, as the eggs can cook too quickly and burn.
Step 3
Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and 1/3 teaspoon of salt.
Step 4
Using chopsticks or a whisk, gently beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined. It’s important to mix them thoroughly without any streaks.
Step 5
Pour the beaten egg mixture into the heated pan. Reduce the heat to low and stir with chopsticks to cook the eggs like scrambled eggs. Gently scrambling them will help them blend better with the tuna and chives later.
Step 6
Once the eggs start to form soft curds, add the drained tuna and the chopped chives (washed and cut into bite-sized pieces) to the pan. Stir-fry everything together.
Step 7
The eggs are already cooked, so you don’t need to stir-fry for too long. Just cook for another 1-2 minutes until the chives are slightly wilted and the tuna and eggs are well combined. Overcooking can make the chives mushy.
Step 8
Finally, for a nutty aroma, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of perilla oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds to finish. Using perilla oil is key to achieving that signature savory flavor.
Step 9
And there you have it – a Tuna, Chives, and Egg Stir-fry where fragrant chives, savory tuna, and tender eggs come together in perfect harmony! Serve it over rice for the kids, and your tuna-loving husband will be scooping it up with a spoon. Like this ‘imperfect mom,’ you can also enjoy it as a hearty donburi over rice!
