Today’s post is gonna be really different – I’d like to share a recipe for making Tuna Burgers I tried lately (unfortunately I didn’t take pics!).
If you’re sick of eating Tuna out of the can… then this recipe is just perfect for you. Turn plain tasting canned tuna into a mouth-watering hot meal by just adding a few ingredients.
Tuna Burgers
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Makes 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 3 cans of Tuna chunks in water, drained (I used the TC Boy Tuna in Spring Water)
- 2 Tablespoons Wheat Germ
- 1 Large Green oOnion/or Red Onion (minced finely)
- 2 omega-3 Eggs, beaten
- 1 Teaspoon Soy Sauce
- Dash of Garlic Powder (McCormick Spices has this – you can get them at any Supermarket)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 2 Teaspoon Olive Oil
Instructions:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl – Use your hands and mix them well (wash your hands first alright?)
- Form into 2 or 3 large patties
- Use Cooking Spray on a non-stick grilling pan, and pan-fry the tuna burgers for approx 5 mins
- You’re done!!
The wheat germ and omega-3 eggs help to form a nice matrix for these burgers and add precious omega-3 fatty acids. This dish can be eaten be served with a salad, grilled vegetable, used in a sandwich – or just eaten plain.
What I like about this recipe is that the Tuna Burgers are really REALLY easy to prepare – looks really awesome in the end – and makes you feel like a chef. Try this.. and let me know how it goes! You will certainly impress your partner!
In my next few posts… I plan to highlight the various tools in the kitchen (like my awesome grilling pan I bought from Ikea, costs less than RM90), the various condiments I use, etc. Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog if you don’t wanna miss out!
Bon Appétit!

Geee…. I can’t seem to recall where I placed my frying pan. Haven’t used it for close to 3 years oredi.
Cool!! I’ll have to try this soon, eating tuna out of the can is starting to make me gag. hahaha
did you manage to find foreman grill in Malaysia? I wanna get my hands on one too
Jason: Darn.. its been AGES since I ate one of those…
Aizan: Time to get a new one perhaps? The one I got at Ikea is awesome – it even gives the ‘grill’ marks on any meat you cook! Need to take a pic and post it up.
Losernator: Nope.. no luck on the foreman grill. Sigh.
hahaha yeah it does beat eating tuna out of a can… in whcih i do that for lunch sometimes when time is tight after an hour long workout/ combat class!
Would love some pictures mate!
Hey DM, may I know that TCBoy Tuna In Water can actually eat straight out from the can or I gotta cook it for a while? Can you suggest some foods that I can get faster for gym bunny? Somethin’ doesn’t require cook. FYI, U ROCK!
Shaun: Will take some the next time I make them. :)
HARRIson – yes you can eat them straight out of the can. I believe they’re already cooked and then canned. Raw tuna is actually reddish in colour.
I like making shakes when I don’t feel like cooking – http://www.dailymuscle.com/2009/03/26/at-the-kitchen-with-dm-a-super-shake/
Actually guys, I’m thinking of coming up with a simple recipe book! It’s now on my to-do-list.
