Zubereitung von Thai Tuna Burgers With Ginger Lemon Mayonnaise
- **Prepare the Cucumber Salad:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 English cucumber (thinly sliced), 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Season with freshly ground black pepper and let stand for at least 1 hour at room temperature.
- **Make the Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise:** In a mortar and pestle (or a medium bowl), mash 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1-2 Thai chilies (finely minced), and 1 tablespoon sugar into a paste. Stir in 1/4 cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and 1 tablespoon chopped basil. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the ginger-garlic-chili paste.
- **Prepare the Tuna:** On a clean cutting board, thinly slice 1 pound sushi-grade tuna. Stack the slices and cut into thin matchsticks. Cut the matchsticks into rough 1/8-inch cubes.
- **Combine Tuna and Paste:** Gently combine the tuna cubes with the ginger-garlic-chili paste, ensuring the tuna is evenly coated.
- **Form Patties:** Using lightly moistened hands, shape the tuna mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a large plate lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- **Prepare for Grilling:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Lightly brush the burgers and the cut sides of the 4 burger buns with the oil mixture.
- **Grill the Burgers:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the tuna burgers for 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Move the burgers to a cooler part of the grill and toast the cut sides of the buns for about 1 minute.
- **Assemble the Burgers:** Drain the cucumber salad. Spread the ginger-lemon mayonnaise on the cut sides of the buns. Place the tuna burgers on the bottom buns, top with the cucumber salad, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts (about 1/4 cup). Cover with the top buns and serve immediately.
