- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp honey

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped tuna, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, green onions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, grated ginger, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the tuna mixture into 4 patties and place them on a plate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp grated ginger to make the glaze. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro to make the Asian slaw. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Brush the glaze over the tuna patties during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- Toast the burger buns in the skillet or in a toaster until lightly golden.
- To serve, place a generous amount of Asian slaw on each plate and top with a glazed tuna patty. Place the patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun and cover with the top half of the bun. Enjoy!
The Sesame Ginger Glazed Tuna Burgers served on a bed of Asian slaw is a fusion dish that combines the flavors of the East and the West. This dish originated in the kitchens of innovative chefs who sought to create a unique and flavorful twist on the classic tuna burger. The succulent tuna patty is infused with a delightful blend of sesame and ginger, giving it a tantalizing aroma and a burst of umami flavor. The Asian slaw, with its crisp and vibrant vegetables, provides a refreshing contrast to the rich and savory tuna burger. This dish has gained popularity in trendy restaurants across coastal regions, where fresh seafood is abundant. The best version of this dish can be found in upscale seafood restaurants that prioritize using high-quality, sushi-grade tuna. The key to getting this dish right lies in the quality of the tuna and the balance of the sesame ginger glaze. For a famous alternative method, some chefs opt to serve the tuna as a sashimi-style dish, thinly sliced and drizzled with the sesame ginger glaze, alongside a side of Asian slaw. This variation showcases the delicate flavors of the tuna while still incorporating the irresistible combination of sesame and ginger.
