Spicy Tuna Patties

What can you do with canned tuna other than used them as tuna sandwich? I like this idea of making tuna into a patty and fried them. 3 cans of tuna make 11 patties. I serve them as a side with a salad. They're pretty delicious with the taste of fish sauce. You can also double the recipe and make a bunch of them and eat it as main dish.


Ingredients
3 cans 6 oz white tuna, drained
1 jalapeno, sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 t grated fresh ginger
3 green onions, chopped
1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
1 1/2 T fish sauce
1 T Siracha
2 eggs
4 T oil for frying


Directions
Drained 3 cans of tuna and put it in a mixing bowl. Add in sliced jalapeno, garlic, ginger, green onions, and cilantro. Then drizzle with fish sauce and Siracha (you can adjust the measure of Siracha depends on your likeness of spicy). Use a fork to mix till there is no visible big chunk of tuna.

In another small bowl, whisk the 2 eggs and add it to the tuna. Mix it all well.

Scooped the tuna mixture with a 1/4 measure cup. Make a ball, then gently flatten it with your hand. The tuna patties should be a little loose, not too hard.

Heat 2 T of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fried each side for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown. Carefully flip over to the other side as they are delicate. Continue the same with the rest of the patties.

Enjoy!
