How to Make Vegan Watermelon Tuna Burgers

watermelon watermelon

soy sauce

tbsp rice vinegar

tbsp sesame oil

tbsp sweet white miso paste

tsp dulse granules

tsp chili powder

coleslaw veggies

mayonnaise

tsp pure sesame oil

tsp ground ginger

tsp kosher salt

tsp wasabi powder

tsp warm water

wheat buns, (lightly toasted)

2-4 tbsps sushi ginger

avocado

*Suggestion: serve burgers with sweet potato fries

Add all ingredients (except for the watermelon) to a small mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Place the watermelon steaks and marinade in a container, making sure the steaks are entirely submerged/coated in the marinade.

Marinate them in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line a large sheet pan with a piece of parchment paper.

Drain and shake off the excess marinade from the watermelon. I like to also lightly dab the watermelon with a piece of paper towel to prevent the marinade from burning in the oven. Then, place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake them on the middle oven rack for 1 hour, flipping them halfway through.

Allow the watermelon tuna steaks to completely cool down at room temperature before assembling the burgers.

Watermelon Tuna Steaks

Add all ingredients (except for the coleslaw veggies) to a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. Then, toss in the veggies and stir until evenly combined.

Let the slaw marinate for 20 minutes.

Asian Slaw

Add the wasabi powder and water to a small bowl and stir until a paste has formed. Let this rest for 5 minutes to activate the flavor.

Add the mayonnaise and stir until evenly combined.

Wasabi Mayo

Lightly toast a bun. Spread roughly one tablespoon of wasabi mayo on both slices. Top the bottom bun with half of the Asian slaw, followed by one watermelon tuna steak, 1/4 of a thinly sliced avocado seasoned with a tiny pinch of salt, one to two tablespoons sushi ginger, and finish with the top bun!

How to Assemble a Burger

Watermelon tuna is an easy fish substitute that tastes like the real deal! Marinate cubed watermelon in a blend of seasonings to mimic the flavor of ahi tuna steak, then add it to poke bowls, sushi, and more.

Watermelon Tuna

watermelon

rice wine vinegar

soy sauce (low sodium)

sesame oil

green onion (diced)

nori sheet (crushed)

¼ teaspoon white sesame seeds

black sesame seeds

In a bowl, add the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, crushed nori sheet and the sesame seeds. Stir to combine. Add the cubed watermelon in and stir everything together to combine. Ensure that all the watermelon is marinated in/under the liquid.

Cover and allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 24 hours, preferably up to 48 hours for the best texture.

Remove from the fridge, and enjoy as desired! You can let it sit out a bit to come back closer to room temperature and serve in a poke bowl.
