# Ingredients:
→ Tuna Patty Mix
01 -
2 (142g per can) tins of drained, flaked white tuna
02 -
1 big egg
03 -
Chopped green onion (use both green and white parts separately)
04 -
1 tablespoon soy sauce
05 -
1/4 cup of creamy mayo
06 -
2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
07 -
2 minced garlic cloves
08 -
Salt & crushed black pepper (adjust as you like)
09 -
Half a cup of panko or gluten-free crumbs
10 -
Enough avocado oil to fry the cakes
11 -
A drizzle of sesame oil for richness
→ Spicy Sauce
12 -
Half a cup of high-quality mayo
13 -
Juice squeezed fresh from a half lime
14 -
Sriracha sauce to taste (about 1 tablespoon)
15 -
A pinch or two of salt and pepper
→ Toppings
16 -
Sesame seeds for sprinkling
17 -
The tops of the green onions you set aside
# Instructions:
01 -
Dice green onion, splitting the greens away from the whites for garnishing later. Put your crumb coating in a separate bowl so it’s ready to go.
02 -
Combine the mayo, lime juice, sriracha, and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir until it’s silky smooth. Let it chill—it gets tastier with time.
03 -
Mix together tuna, chopped white onion parts, egg, soy sauce, mayo, garlic, arrowroot, and seasoning in a bowl. Use a fork to combine everything until it sticks together.
04 -
With wet hands, press the tuna mix into small 2-inch patties. Dip both sides into your crumbs so they’re fully coated. This step gives them a crispy finish when cooked!
05 -
Heat avocado oil and a touch of sesame oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties for around 2 minutes on each side, flipping when golden-brown and crunchy.
06 -
Move cooked patties onto a dish. Top them off with spicy mayo, sesame seeds, and those reserved green onion parts. They’re ready to eat!
# Notes:
01 -
Turn canned tuna into something special with these crispy, flavorful patties that pack an Asian-style twist.
02 -
Need extra crunch? Choose panko crumbs if you’re not gluten-free, or opt for gluten-free ones.

Want a lighter option? Stick these on a bed of greens or wrap them in lettuce for a fresh spin.
