Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna, drained
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients on the counter for an efficient cooking process.
- Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped green onions, and sriracha sauce. Mix thoroughly using clean hands.
- Shape Your Cakes: With wet hands to prevent sticking, form small patties about three inches wide and place them on a plate while heating your skillet.
- Cook Those Cakes: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties once hot. Cook until golden brown on one side for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another few minutes.
- Serve It Up: Transfer the cooked cakes onto paper towels to absorb excess oil and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
- Enjoy!: Dig into these warm cakes alone or with a refreshing salad or dip.
