Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Tuna Cakes:
  • 2 cans Tuna, well-drained
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium Carrot, grated
  • 3 stalks Green Onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Neutral Cooking Oil
  • For the Spicy Mayo:
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Optional Sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine well-drained canned tuna, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and chopped green onion.
  2. Sprinkle in salt and ground black pepper.
  3. Add the eggs and all-purpose flour. Mix until well combined and a cohesive mixture forms.
  4. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into small patties, about 2–3 inches in diameter.
  5. Heat neutral cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  7. While the cakes cook, prepare the spicy mayo by combining mayonnaise, gochujang, lemon juice, and optional sugar in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
  8. Transfer cooked tuna cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve the Bold Asian-Style Tuna Cakes warm with the spicy mayo.

Notes

  • Ensure tuna is well-drained to prevent soggy cakes.
  • For best flavor, use fresh ingredients.
  • Shape patties uniformly for even cooking.
  • Avoid overmixing the ingredients to keep the cakes tender.
  • Consider adding garlic powder or sesame seeds to the spicy mayo for extra flavor.
