Ingredients
Scale
- Tuna Cakes:
- 2 cans (5 oz each) of tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Spicy Mayo:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, panko breadcrumbs, green onions, red bell pepper, beaten egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into 8 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the tuna cakes to the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- While the cakes are cooking, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl.
- Once the tuna cakes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve the tuna cakes warm with a generous drizzle of spicy mayo on top.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The tuna cake mixture can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before cooking.
- Storage: Leftover tuna cakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
