Don't Toss Tuna-Can Oil — Use It for Umami

Many people discard the oil from canned tuna, but it’s often a common cooking oil (like canola or soybean) infused with tuna’s savory flavor. Experts recommend using some of the oil to boost dishes: stir-fries, pasta, fried rice, salad dressings, or vegetable sautés gain extra umami and richness. Because some cans include added salt or seasonings, reduce additional seasoning accordingly. If the oil feels too heavy, use only part of it. Reusing tuna-can oil not only improves flavor but also reduces food waste.
