How to Make Wasabi Tuna Burger With Thai Style Cucumbers

  1. **Thai Style Cucumbers:**
  2. Combine 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon sesame seeds in a sealable container.
  3. Chill for at least 2 hours (or longer for maximum flavor).
  4. **Tuna Burgers:**
  5. Gently remove any sinew from 1 pound sushi-grade tuna and finely chop.
  6. Add 2 scallions (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing.
  7. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.
  8. Chill for at least 1 hour.
  9. While the patties chill, prepare the wasabi mayonnaise: Mix 1 tablespoon wasabi powder with enough water to form a smooth paste (about 1-2 teaspoons). Let it sit for 20 minutes.
  10. Stir the wasabi paste into ½ cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Chill.
  11. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  12. Cook the tuna patties for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  13. Lightly toast 4 burger buns.
  14. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom of each bun. Top with several slices of chilled Thai-style cucumbers.
  15. Add a tuna patty to each bun.
  16. Spread the wasabi mayonnaise generously on the top bun.
  17. Serve immediately with the remaining Thai-style cucumbers on the side.
