In this cooking tutorial, the host demonstrates how to make a Korean‑inspired gochujang tuna spaghetti sauce. She starts by heating oil in a saucepan, sautéing a small chopped onion until translucent, then adding a small can of spicy canned tuna and letting it simmer. She incorporates 250 g of original‑style tomato sauce for acidity, followed by two tablespoons of gochujang (Korean red‑pepper paste) and two tablespoons of light brown sugar, adjusting sweetness and heat to taste. After a brief simmer, she adds one‑third cup of milk (evaporated, fresh, or reconstituted powdered milk) and lets the mixture simmer a final minute, stirring to prevent sticking. The host explains the flavor balance—salty tomato, spicy gochujang, tuna, and a hint of sweetness—and suggests seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. She shares that the recipe was inspired by a Korean restaurant where she tasted gochujang in spaghetti. The video concludes with a call to action: viewers are invited to comment, like, share, subscribe, and follow her on Facebook and Instagram @fullyfreelyleslie, and to tag her when they try the recipe.

Yes, we're going to heat the saucepan over medium fire. We're going to add about 2 tablespoons of oil. We're going to heat it for a minute. Once it's heated, we're going to add 1 small onion, chopped. Once it's translucent, we will add 1 small can of canned tuna, spicy. Stir it and let it simmer for about a minute. Stir occasionally so it won't burn. We will also add original style tomato sauce. 250 grams. Tomato sauce, kasi gusto ko yung may konting acid. Halula. Nandagdagan natin ang ating gochujang or yung red pepper paste. Kung gusto niyo nang mas mahang pa, pedi niya pang dagdagan. Dagdagdaran natin ating 2 tablespoons na light brown sugar. Kung gusto niyo nang mas matamis pa, den dagdagan niyo pa. Halooyin lang siyang mabute tapos haya ang mag-simmer for about a minute. Hinaanatin yung apoy. Tapos halo-haloen occasionally para hindi maniket sa ilalim. Nayo, and then pagnanatin ang ating 1/3 cup na gatas. Puede kang gumamit ng evap, fresh milk, or haya magtimpla kayo ng powdered milk plus water. Halooyin lang mabute tapos haya ang let mag-simmer for about a minute. Halo-haloen para di maniket.
