Ingredients
Ingredients
- 400 g Canned tuna drained
- 100 g Breadcrumbs light binder
- 1 large Egg beaten
- 30 g Green onions finely chopped
- 15 ml Soy sauce optional
- 30 ml Mayonnaise for spicy mayo
- 5 ml Hot sauce to taste for spicy mayo
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped green onions, and soy sauce. Mix gently to form a cohesive mixture.
- Form the mixture into uniform patties. Lightly spray each patty with oil to help with browning.
- Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring space between them. Air fry at 180°C for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare the spicy mayo by whisking together mayonnaise and hot sauce to reach the desired heat level.
- Once cooked, let the tuna cakes rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve with the spicy mayo on top or on the side.
Notes
Tip: For extra crunch, lightly dust the cakes with fine crumbs or panko before air frying. Don't overcrowd the basket for the best results!
