The patties for these sandwiches are made from grilled tuna. To make the mince, the tuna is blended in a food processor with seasonings like soy sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and grated ginger, which impart a wonderful Asian flavor. Grill the tuna just like beef, not cooking it all the way through, to ensure the patties are juicy and delicious. Serve them on whole-grain buns with bean sprouts in a tart Asian carrot-ginger sauce and slices of ripe avocado.
