Ingredients

  • 2 - 5 oz. cans of solid white tuna
  • 3 scallions greens only
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs plus 1/2 cup
  • Sesame oil
  • Sriracha sauce
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Teriyaki sauce
  • Sesame seeds for garnishing

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, break apart tuna fish into small pieces.
  • Add scallion, egg, and 1/2 cup of panko. Pour other 1/2 cup of panko in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add about 2-3 drops of sesame oil (do not add any more or you'll overpower the dish) and a squirt or two of Sriracha sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan.
  • Roll tuna mixture into small balls, then pat down to form cakes.
  • Coat each side in panko, then carefully place in heated frying pan.
  • Cook tuna cakes for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until panko is golden brown.
  • Drain on a paper towel, if necessary.
  • Then, serve with a teriyaki drizzle, or on the side for dipping, and garnish with sesame seeds.
