Instructions
Creating Asian-Style Tuna Cakes with Spicy Mayo is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and place them on your countertop for easy access.
2. Combine Tuna and Vegetables: In a large bowl, mix the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, green onions, bell pepper, garlic, cilantro, and beaten egg.
3. Season Mixture: Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined.
4. Shape the Cakes: Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
5. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.
6. Fry the Cakes: When the oil is hot, carefully add the tuna cakes to the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, place the tuna cakes on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil while you prepare the spicy mayo.
8. Make Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
9. Serve: Serve the tuna cakes warm, drizzled or accompanied by spicy mayo.
