Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh tuna steak
- 80 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
Instructions
Finely chop the tuna steak into small, pea-sized pieces or pulse it gently in a food processor for a coarser texture. Do not over-process; the tuna should still have some texture.
Mince the garlic and finely slice the green onions. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tuna, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil. Mix until just combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm them up.
While the patties chill, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the level of sriracha to your heat preference. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the tuna patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
Slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly in the same skillet or in a toaster oven until golden.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a slice of tomato, a few slices of red onion, the tuna patty, and a generous dollop of spicy mayo. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gourmet Tuna Burgers!
