Instructions

Step 1

Squeeze the excess liquid out of the kimchi and chop it finely. Drain the tuna thoroughly as well.

Step 2

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add kimchi, and stir-fry for a few minutes.

Add 1 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Mix well. Add drained tuna and stir-fry on medium-high until moisture evaporates. Turn off heat, mix in 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Tuna kimchi stir-fry is ready!
