042 - Tuna and Miso Burgers
February 11, 2010--If I'd thought ahead, I'd have taken a picture of something that I could have titled "Don't Panic." Oh, well. Instead I present you with the tuna and miso mini-burgers that I made as part of dinner.
It's a simple enough recipe, very much like making meatloaf. It requires a can of tuna, drained, an egg, a tablespoon(ish) of miso paste, and enough breadcrumbs to thicken the mixture into something like moist play-doh. I put all of the ingredients into a zip-top bag and squash them around to mix, adding more breadcrumbs until I get the right consistency. Then I divide it up into patties and pan fry them in some sesame oil. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
I had them with a Szechuan asparagus rice bowl. They also keep pretty well to put in a sack lunch (this is, in fact, a slightly modified bento recipe) and are quick enough for an afternoon snack.
