Main Ingredients- Canned Tuna (59g) 4 cans (including oil)
- Cheongyang Chili Peppers 4-6 (adjust to spice preference)
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste) 3 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Finely mince the Cheongyang chili peppers or slice them thinly, according to your preference. Removing the seeds can help reduce the spiciness.
Step 2
In a deep frying pan or wok, open the canned tuna and add the entire contents, including the oil. The oil from the tuna can adds extra flavor.
Step 3
Add the minced/sliced Cheongyang chili peppers and gochujang to the pan with the tuna. Stir-fry over high heat, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and coated.
Step 4
Taste as you stir-fry. If it feels a bit bland or the seasoning isn’t quite right, feel free to add more gochujang, or a touch of corn syrup or sugar to adjust the sweetness.
Step 5
Continue to stir-fry over high heat for about 2-3 minutes until everything is nicely coated and fragrant. This quick stir-fry ensures the tuna remains moist and tender. Avoid overcooking, as it can make the tuna dry.
