2 challah hamburger buns or other egg bread rolls

1 teaspoon honey

8 thin slices cucumber

2 tablespoons radish or bean sprouts

Directions

Combine tuna, 1 tablespoon mustard, ginger, green onions, soy sauce and pepper to taste. Form into two 3/4-inch thick patties.

Heat oil in a skillet until hot, carefully add tuna patties and sear for four minutes.
