Asian Tuna Patties

Asian Tuna Patties
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs (I used oat bran instead)
3 green onions, minced (I didn't have these and left them out- they would have been great)
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup (I used sriracha sauce, to make it spicy)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
In a large bowl, mix tuna, egg, bread crumbs, green onions, and garlic. Blend soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, and pepper into the mixture. Form the mixture into about 6 patties approximately 1 inch thick. Lightly sprinkle each patty on all sides with cornmeal.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Fry each patty about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. (I like mine thin, so I was able to make about 1 dozen patties from the mixture, by using only 1 tbsp or 2 of the mixture and flattening it in the oil to fry. When you do that, they don't need to fry for 5 whole minutes on each side.)
