This is truly delicious, the mango salsa is scrumptious!

Thai style tuna burger with steamed rice and mango salsa

Ingredients - serves 1 person

For the tuna burger
100g/3½oz tuna steak, finely chopped ( I used canned tuna in this instance)
¼ stalk lemongrass, outer layer removed, finely chopped
½ green chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
1cm/½in piece galangal (or ginger), peeled and finely chopped
pinch salt
2 tsp vegetable oil

For the mango salsa
½ mango, peeled, chopped into 1cm/½in cubes
½ lime, juice only
small handful fresh coriander, finely chopped
small handful fresh mint, finely chopped
½ green chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil

To serve
100g/3½oz jasmine rice, cooked according to packet instructions ( I just used brown rice for a healthy option)

Method

1. For the tuna burger, place all the burger ingredients except the vegetable oil into a bowl and mix well. Place a 5cm/2in pastry cutter or chefs' ring onto a small plate and press the burger mixture into the ring. Place into the fridge to chill.
2. For the mango salsa, place the mango, lime juice, herbs and chilli into a bowl and mix well. Place the soy sauce and olive oil into a separate bowl, whisk together and pour over the mango mixture. Stir well.
3. Remove the tuna burger from the fridge and remove the chefs' ring or pastry cutter.
4. Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the burger for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
5. To serve, place the burger onto a serving plate with the cooked rice and serve with a spoonful of salsa.

Sounds yummy.

Did the burger stay together? It doesn't seem to have to make it stick together.
