Frazzled? Feast on fish! Tuna is high in vitamin B12, which stimulates the brain's production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps you relax.
Ingredients:
1/2 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
1/2 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar, divided
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup broccoli slaw
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 1/4 pound tuna steak, finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced scallions
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 hamburger buns, split
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine vinegar, 1 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Add cabbage, carrots and broccoli slaw; toss and set aside. In a second bowl, combine cilantro, mint, fish sauce, soy sauce and remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Add tuna and scallions; mix until combined. Form tuna mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Place panko on a plate; coat each patty with crumbs. In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Cook burgers, flipping once, until well browned, about 4 minutes per side. Place 1 burger on bottom of each bun; top with 1/4 of slaw and other bun half.
