What is tuna liquid?

Tuna liquid is a type of seasoning that is used to add umami to food.
This seasoning is a liquid seasoning and has a smoky scent.

The tuna liquid we commonly know is made by concentrating tuna and using that liquid as the main base.
It is made by adding katsuobushi to tuna concentrate, mixing it with boiled water, and adding various ingredients such as oysters, wheat, soybeans, and soy sauce.

Unlike fish sauce, tuna liquid is mainly sweet and umami rather than salty.
And it deepens the taste while removing the fishy smell of meat or seafood.

Tuna liquid cooking and how to use it

There are a variety of dishes made using tuna liquid.
It can be used in a variety of dishes such as soups, stews, stir-fries, and grills.

It is good for use in dishes that require rich umami, such as kimchi stew, doenjang soup, seaweed soup, beef and radish soup, fish cake soup, rice cake soup, dumpling soup, tteokbokki, kimchi fried rice, and steamed egg.
If you add 1 to 2 tablespoons of soup or stew for 3 servings, the umami will explode.

Just add 1 tablespoon per 3 servings to vegetables or stir-fried dishes.
If you add too much, the umami and original taste of the food may be lost, so do not add too much.

When boiling soup or stew, add 1 tablespoon and check the taste.
If the umami taste is low, add 1/2 tablespoon at a time and check the taste.

Finally

When cooking, it is really difficult to create flavor using only natural ingredients.
That’s why we use seasoning.

You need to add a little less than the standard amount of seasoning, check the taste, and then supplement it little by little to complete the taste.
If you add a large amount of tuna liquid at once, the taste of the food may turn into a seasoning taste, and you may have to throw away the food.

By using seasoning, you can flavor food more conveniently and more quickly.
I hope that your family will have a happier life with delicious food, and I will come back again in the next article.
