"It’s a recipe we share as a family and yet depending on who makes it, it tastes a tad bit different. Granny used to use tuna in her version. Aunty’s was a little saltier, probably the brand of shoyu. I’ve started using salmon instead of tuna and my daughter seems to like it better." -- Helena Kodani
