Prepare Ingredients
- Gather all your ingredients for the Tuna Cakes. Ensure the tuna is well-drained, and chop the green onions, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Mix Tuna Base
- In a large bowl, combine the tuna, panko, green onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Add the egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Form Patties
- Wet your hands to prevent sticking and shape the mixture into eight patties, about ½ inch thick. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
Heat Oil
- In a non-stick skillet, heat ¼ cup of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Cook Patties
- Carefully place the patties into the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Drain Oil
- Transfer cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Prepare Spicy Mayo
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Serve
- Serve your Tuna Cakes hot with spicy mayo drizzled or on the side. Pair with fresh greens or cucumber salad.

Notes
Use fresh ginger and garlic for maximum flavor. Refrigerate patties before frying to help them hold shape. Adjust sriracha in mayo for spice to taste.
