The humble can of tuna can be transformed into these beautiful cakes with just a little love. This is an adaptation of Gordon Ramsay's recipe. He uses water chestnuts which I hate but many love. So use those instead of the red pepper if you love those crunchy balls of white weirdness.

As always, I have chosen an Asian flavour profile. The first time I made these, I made them for my father and he said, and I quote, "This is the best thing you have ever made for me." A large statement and one that I was rather surprised at. Are these tuna cakes delicious? Yes. Best thing I ever made? Hmmmmmmm, I don't think so.
