Viewed: 15 - Published at: 8 years agoIngredients
- 2 lbs fresh tuna steaks, cut into bite-size cubes
- 3 -4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (eyeball it)
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (a small palmful)
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 16 miniature buns, whatever type of bread you like
- 12 cup pickled ginger, found in the international food aisle (eyeball it)
- 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 12 cup store-bought Chinese duck sauce (eyeball it)
Method
- Preheat broiler or oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place cubed tuna into a food processor and pulse it to coarsely grind the fish (it should start to look like ground beef or turkey).
- Transfer tuna to a medium-size mixing bowl and add in the garlic, soy sauce, chives, some salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Pat the meat down in the bowl and use the side of your hand to roughly score the mixture into four equal portions.
- Scoop one portion out of the bowl and divide the into four equal parts.
- Shape each part into a small patty and reserve on a plate.
- Continue dividing and shaping the remaining tuna until you have 16 patties.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons.
- When the oil is hot, place the slides into the pan (as many as will fit comfortably, don't crowd the party!).
- Cook until golden brown on the outside and cooked through inside, 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked sliders from the pan to a dinner plate and cover them with foil to keep warm while the others cook.
- While the burgers are cooking, split the buns in half and place them onto a baking sheet.
- Toss them into the oven or under the broiler for a few minutes to toast them up.
- Once the buns are toasted and the patties are cooked, assemble the sliders by placing a patty down on each bun, then top them off with a couple slices of pickled ginger, a couple slices of cucumber and a dollop of duck sauce.
- Serve each person four sliders and enjoy!
