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

  1. Combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, beaten egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  2. Form the mixture into small, equal-sized patties about 2-3 inches wide and about an inch thick.
  3. Heat a generous layer of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Place the patties into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  5. Prepare the aioli by blending the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice in a separate bowl.
  6. Serve the hot tuna cakes drizzled with the zesty aioli alongside fresh salad or steamed vegetables.

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.
