Description

Delightful and comforting Asian-style tuna cakes that transform a simple can of tuna into a savory dish with rich flavors of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce.


Ingredients

  • 1 can of tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine tuna, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, green onion, mayo, salt, and pepper.
  2. Form the mixture into patties.
  3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  4. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Serve with spicy mayo.

Notes

For crispy edges, avoid overcrowding the pan while frying. Consider chilling patties for 20-30 minutes before frying to maintain their shape.
