If Tuna and Spam Pile Up as Chuseok Gifts, Focus!

I Promise to Always Make Sure to Bring Beer♡

Did you all have a good Chuseok? I hope it was a happy Chuseok spent chatting with family members you haven't seen in a while. Now that the brief greeting is over, let's get to the main topic. By any chance, what did you receive as a Chuseok gift? Special gifts are nice, but I confidently bet that every household received at least one can of Spam or tuna! Canned goods are great because they have a long shelf life and can be stored for a long time. But today, let's decorate the last day of the holiday by making delicious snacks using those troublesome tuna and Spam. Diet starts tomorrow! In that spirit, let's promise to grab a can of beer as well.

Tuna Canap?s: Tuna canap?s are finger foods that are easy to eat. They are great when you want a snack but don’t want to spend time cooking on the last day of the holiday. After draining the oil from the tuna, mix it with mayonnaise, wasabi, pepper, or other seasonings to your liking, then place it on crackers. Adding various ingredients like cucumber, avocado, cheese, or cherry tomatoes enhances the texture and flavor. The crispy crackers, fresh vegetables, and soft tuna make a perfect combination. Once you taste it, you'll fall for the charm of canap?s. Having one canap? with a sip of beer is light and enjoyable, so be sure to try making it.

Tuna Cabbage Pancakes: If you want a more substantial dish than canap?s, try making cabbage pancakes with tuna. Cabbage is excellent for cancer prevention and contains the highest amount of vitamin U, which is good for the stomach. It is also popular as a diet food, so it’s perfect to eat after indulging in high-calorie holiday meals. The main preparation is to finely grate 1/4 of a cabbage. Then add drained tuna and 2 eggs, season with salt, and mix well. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan and cook the pancakes in bite-sized portions to complete the tuna cabbage pancakes. Eating oily pancakes will naturally make you crave beer. Click here for the detailed canap? recipe!

Spam Gangjeong: Here’s a chance to enjoy Spam, which some might find a bit salty, in a sweet way. Dice the Spam and fry it in a pan with some oil until golden brown. For the sauce, mix 2 tablespoons each of soy sauce, oligosaccharide syrup, and water, plus 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, then pour it into the pan and simmer over low heat. Be careful not to burn it, then add the Spam and stir-fry together to complete the perfect sweet and salty Spam Gangjeong. It’s a hit not only with adults but also with kids, so the whole family can enjoy it.

Spam Cheese Accordion: Spam is a side dish that can make you finish a bowl of rice?or rather, two bowls?just by grilling it. If Spam Gangjeong adds sweetness, this time let’s add the savory flavor of cheese. The key to Spam Cheese Accordion is slicing the Spam well. Place the Spam on a lid and cut it as thinly as possible without cutting all the way through. After preheating the air fryer, cook it at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes. It will look beautifully like an accordion. Insert mozzarella or cheddar cheese between the slices and cook for another 2-3 minutes until melted. This Spam Cheese Accordion guarantees both a beer-worthy appearance and taste. Click here for the recipe to make jerky with Spam!
