Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 small (finely chopped) red chili
- 2 stalks (finely sliced) green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons (for frying) vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped red chili, and sliced green onions to the bowl.
Crack in the eggs and add the panko breadcrumbs, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it feels too wet, add a little more panko breadcrumbs.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches, place the patties in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a squeeze of lime.
