Description
Crispy, savory tuna cakes infused with soy sauce and sesame oil, complemented by a spicy aioli.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, beaten egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Form the mixture into small, equal-sized patties about 2-3 inches wide and about an inch thick.
- Heat a generous layer of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the patties into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.

Notes
For a healthier option, bake the patties at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure your tuna is well-drained to avoid soggy cakes.
