Here is how you make Just Bento Tuna Tofu Miso Mini Burgers:

Serving Size calculated for 6 mini burgersDrain the tuna very well. Drain the tofu well (see how to drain tofu properly).Dump everything in a plastic bag. Mix very well by squishing the bag around. This part is rather fun.In the meantime, heat up a nonstick frying pan with a little olive oil.When everything is evenly mixed, take out spoonfuls of the mixture from the bag, form into little burgers, and fry on each side for a couple of minutes until browned.[Edit:] It seems some people have had trouble getting the burgers to hold together. The keys are to drain the tuna very well, especially if you are using the water-packed variety, and to really mix and knead everything together thoroughly until the texture is quite fine and paste-like. If that still doesn?t work, add some egg (just egg white if you are watching the calories will do fine).VariationThis paste is also good for making interesting tasting grilled tuna sandwiches. Just mound on top of a slice of bread and grill in a toaster oven, optionally with a little cheese on top.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ANNE86.
