We’re assuming that you already have eggs, grapeseed (or other neutral) oil, mayonnaise, garlic, and soy sauce on hand. If not, you’ll be needing those things, too! 

The Plan

1. Chop the tuna, mince the ginger, and slice the scallions, then mix them all together with the egg. Season with salt and pepper and form into 6 loose patties. Cover and refrigerate them for 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, finely slice the cabbage and carrots for the salad. Mix up the salad dressing and the spicy, gingery mayonnaise for the burgers while you’re at it.

3. Sear off the tuna burgers in a large, nonstick pan.

4. Almost there! Toss the cabbage, carrots and sesame seeds together with the dressing. 

5. Plate burgers next to a generous pile of crunchy cabbage slaw, and serve!
