Directions[]
- Preheat a nonstick griddle or a grill pan to high heat.

- Combine ground tuna with garlic, ginger, dark soy sauce, scallions, red bell pepper, sesame oil, seasoning blend and black pepper.
- Form 4 large patties, 1½ inches thick.
- Drizzle patties on both sides with light-in-color oil, such as canola, safflower or peanut oil.
- Cook tuna burgers 3 minutes on each side for rare, up to 6 minutes each side for well done.
- Preheat broiler.
- In a medium nonstick skillet over high heat, saute fresh shiitakes for 2 or 3 minutes in 1 tablespoon light oil -- 1 turn of the pan in a slow stream.
- Season mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- Open up the rolls and lightly toast them under the broiler.
- Spread mango chutney on the bottom of each bun.
- Top with tuna burger, shiitakes, red leaf lettuce.
- Spread wasabi mustard or sweet hot mustard on bun tops and set them in place.
- Serve with exotic chips and pickled ginger, if desired.
