Tuna Melt Recipe with Korean Spicy Tuna
A comfort classic with a twist, this Korean spicy tuna melt recipe adds layers of heat to canned tuna, cheese, and bread for a simple yet tasty meal!
What starts out as a can of Korean spicy tuna turns into a craveworthy meal thanks to bold flavors. Heat and extra creaminess come from Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo, Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil adds a punch of nuttiness, and a mix of garlic, green onion, and cheddar cheese add fresh and tangy flavors.
