- 1 tbsp Soy sauce

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, panko breadcrumbs, egg, scallions, cilantro, red chili, soy sauce, lime juice, and grated ginger. Mix well until evenly combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into four equal-sized patties and set them aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the tuna patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated ginger, lemon juice, and salt to prepare the ginger lemon mayonnaise.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired, then spread a generous amount of the ginger lemon mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a tuna patty and a few slices of cucumber. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Thai Tuna Burgers with Ginger Lemon Mayonnaise!
