These Asian Tuna Cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main dish featuring canned tuna mixed with fresh green onions, egg, and breadcrumbs. Pan-fried to a golden crisp and served with a spicy mayo dipping sauce made from mayonnaise and Sriracha, they deliver a perfect balance of savory flavors and a mild kick.

Ingredients

Scale

Tuna Cakes

  • 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna, drained
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

Spicy Mayo

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 teaspoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, one large egg, breadcrumbs, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a mixture that can be shaped into patties.
  2. Form the Tuna Cakes: Shape the mixture into small round patties, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, ensuring they hold together well.
  3. Pan-Fry the Tuna Cakes: Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the tuna cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside and heated through inside.
  4. Prepare the Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Sriracha to create a spicy, creamy sauce. Adjust the amount of Sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
  5. Serve: Plate the tuna cakes while hot and serve immediately with the spicy mayo on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh green onions for the best flavor and a slight crunch in the tuna cakes.
  • Adjust the amount of breadcrumbs if the mixture feels too wet or too dry.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • You can add a pinch of salt and pepper to the tuna mixture if desired.
  • The spicy mayo can be customized with additional lime juice or garlic for extra flavor.
