Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams canned tuna (in water), drained
- 150 grams firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 8 units mini burger buns
- 8 units lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the tofu using your hands or a fork until it resembles a coarse texture.
Add the drained tuna, white miso paste, panko breadcrumbs, egg, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger to the bowl.
Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture binds and holds its shape when squeezed.
Using your hands, form 8 even-sized patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a plate and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from heat and set on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to make a spicy mayo spread.
Toast the mini burger buns lightly in a clean skillet or toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the spicy mayo on each bun. Place a lettuce leaf and then a tuna-tofu patty on the bottom half of each bun, covering with the top half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mini Tuna Tofu Miso Burgers!
