Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 ounce each) flaked white tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup gluten-free crumbs or panko crumbs
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, the whites of the green onions, the egg, soy sauce, arrowroot powder, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well incorporated.
2. Take the tuna mixture and shape it into patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Coat each cake in the gluten-free crumbs or panko crumbs, ensuring a thorough and even coverage.
3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add a combination of avocado oil and sesame oil. Carefully place the tuna cakes in the pan and fry them for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, sriracha sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the perfect dipping sauce for your Asian Tuna Cakes.
Notes
Feel free to customize the spicy mayo to suit your personal preferences. You can add minced garlic for an extra punch of flavor, or incorporate fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for a vibrant touch.
