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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or more to taste)
1/2 small white onion, minced
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

Beat eggs and then combine with tuna, soy sauce, pepper, onion, panko and melted butter.
Form into patties (make small ones, so everyone gets 2 for a meal) and chill in refrigerator for 20 minues.
In the meanwhile, make your dipping sauce. Mix the mayo, garlic powder, lemon juice, lemon pepper and Tabasco sauce (feel free to add more as you like).
Place dipping sauce in a sandwich size Ziplock baggie.
Heat oil in large pan.
Cook tuna cakes for approx 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, turning cakes only once to get good color.
When browned on each side, remove and place on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
Take baggie with the dipping sauce and barely snip off one of the corners of the baggie. Drizzle the sauce over the top of each cake.

Time 16m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) cans albacore tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs, divided
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the tuna, 1/3 cup bread crumbs, egg, onions, red pepper, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder and cayenne.
Divide mixture into eight portions; shape into 2-inch balls.
Roll balls in remaining bread crumbs.
Flatten to 1/2 inch thickness.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook tuna cakes in butter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Tips:

Choose the right tuna. Canned tuna is a great option for tuna cakes, but be sure to choose tuna that is packed in water, not oil. This will help to reduce the amount of fat in the cakes.
Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the tuna cakes will taste. If possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices.
Don't overmix the tuna mixture. Overmixing can make the tuna cakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Shape the tuna cakes gently. When shaping the tuna cakes, be gentle to avoid breaking them apart. Use a light touch and form the cakes into patties that are about 1-inch thick.
Cook the tuna cakes over medium heat. Cooking the tuna cakes over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the tuna cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tuna cakes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or mayonnaise.

Conclusion:

Tuna cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover tuna, and they can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive appetizer, tuna cakes are a great option.
