This pick for the July Sweet as Pie menu was made by our gust picker, my friend Sarah. Phillip was really excited about this one, and although I’m not generally a big fan of tuna, I must say that I was intrigued as well. Here’s how these Thai-Style Tuna Burgers came together:
First, I combined mayo and ginger (I used the stuff in the tube from the produce section). A couple of tablespoons of this mixture went into the burger bowl, while the rest was set aside for a condiment.
Next, I mixed together eggs, panko, green onions, fish sauce (which sounds gross, but actually blends really well with other Asian flavors), and chili sauce before adding in two cans of tuna. I actually already had all of this on hand, except for the tuna.
I formed the mixture into four patties and placed them on a baking sheet.
After about 10 minutes in the oven, the burgers were ready!
We put ours on rolls with the reserved ginger mayo and some arugula.
This was a really easy recipe and if there are people in your house that love tuna, it’s worth a try. I was even able to eat most of mine! If you’re not a fan of ginger, you may want to go easy on or omit the ginger mayo – it was a bit overpowering (that worked out fine for me, but Phillip was looking for more of a tuna taste).
