How to Make Asian Tuna Patties

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 (5 ounce) can tuna (drained), 1 large egg, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce, and 1 tablespoon ketchup.
  3. Add the soy sauce mixture, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the tuna mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into 6 one-inch patties.
  5. Lightly sprinkle both sides of each patty with 1/4 cup cornmeal.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  7. Fry each patty for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
