THAI TUNA BURGERS WITH GINGER-LEMON MAYONNAISE
These offbeat tuna burgers were loosely inspired by a Thai fried white fish patty called tod man pla and discovered by Food & Wine. The Thai cucumber salad stands in for pickles. Use sushi-quality tuna so you can serve the burgers medium rare. The Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise makes one cup and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. MAKE AHEAD: According to the author, the recipe can be prepared through Step 3 and refrigerated for up to 3 hours. Beer Recommendation: An aromatic golden lager will complement the rich tuna here. Look for one with hoppy or lemony flavors, such as Asahi Super Premium from Japan or Singha Lager from Thailand. Wine: soft, off-dry riesling.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers, onion, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Season with pepper and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
- In a mortar or medium bowl, using the back of a spoon, mash the ginger with the garlic, chile and remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar to a paste. Stir in the fish sauce, cilantro and basil. On a clean cutting board, thinly slice the tuna. Stack the slices and cut into thin matchsticks. Cut the matchsticks into rough cubes, then chop until the pieces are roughly 1/8 inch. Add the tuna to the ginger paste and stir until evenly combined.
- Using lightly moistened hands, shape the tuna mixture into 4 patties about 1 inch thick. Set them on a large plate lined with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the tuna burgers for 20 minutes.
- Light a grill. In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil with the sesame oil. Lightly brush the burgers and the cut sides of the buns with oil. When the fire is medium hot, brush the grate with oil. Grill the burgers for 6 minutes, turning once, for medium rare. Move the burgers away from the heat and grill the cut sides of the buns until toasted, 1 minute.
- Combine all the Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise ingredients in a small bowl.
- Drain the cucumber salad. Spread the Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise on the cut sides of the buns and set the tuna burgers on the bottoms. Top with the cucumber salad and peanuts. Cover the burgers with the buns and serve.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for sushi-grade or sashimi-grade tuna for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find these grades, choose tuna steaks or loins that are firm and have a鮮豔的紅色color.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your tuna burgers will taste. Look for ripe avocados, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful ginger.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna burgers are best when cooked quickly over high heat. This will help to keep them moist and juicy.
- Use a good quality bun: The bun is an important part of any burger. Choose a bun that is sturdy enough to hold up to the tuna burger, but not so thick that it overpowers the flavor of the fish.
- Get creative with your toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to topping your tuna burgers. Try sliced avocado, cucumber, tomato, or red onion. You can also add a drizzle of soy sauce, Sriracha, or mayonnaise.
Conclusion:
Tuna burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect tuna burgers every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna burgers a try!
