ASIAN-INSPIRED TUNA CAKES



Asian-Inspired Tuna Cakes image

Found this recipe in "The Metro St. Louis Guide to Smart Parenting" as a kid-friendly healthy recipe. Very simple and very tasty! The sauce rEALLY makes the recipe! The soy and panko give a nice twist to the familiar boring tuna cakes of yesteryear. Can be used as a main dish or as an appetizer. NOTE: Due to the concensus of reviewers, I have decreased the original 1/4 cup soy sauce to 1.5 tablespoons.

2 dashes Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna for the best flavor and texture. Fresh or frozen tuna steaks or fillets work well.
  • If using frozen tuna, thaw it completely before using. You can thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or by placing it in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
  • Drain the tuna well before adding it to the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the cakes from being too wet.
  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the tuna and other ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Be careful not to overmix the tuna mixture. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
  • Form the tuna mixture into patties that are about 1-inch thick. If the patties are too thin, they will fall apart during cooking.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil to the skillet to prevent the cakes from sticking.
  • Cook the tuna cakes for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the tuna cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Asian-inspired tuna cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are a great way to use up leftover tuna, and they are also a healthy and affordable option. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
