Preparation

Step 1

Place tuna in a food processor, and pulse for a couple of seconds, until it has the consistency of ground meat. Transfer to a medium bowl, and combine with bread crumbs, egg, scallions, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Shape the tuna mixture into 6 to 8 small patties. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties (in batches if necessary; you don't want to overcrowd the pan) about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
