Ingredients
- 1 lb large raw shrimp (Peeled and deveined)
- 4 oz firm tofu (Crumbled and pressed dry with paper towels)
- 0.25 cup scallions (Finely chopped; from about 3 scallions)
- 1 tbsp garlic (Minced; about 3 cloves)
- 2 tsp ginger (Minced)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (Such as Diamond Crystal)
- 1 tbsp white miso
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 cup mayonnaise (Use 2 tablespoons in the initial mixture; reserve the rest for serving)
- 0.25 cup neutral-tasting oil (Such as safflower oil; used for frying in two batches)
- 12 slider rolls
- shredded cabbage (Green, Napa, or Savoy cabbage, for serving; estimated 2 cups)
- sliced pickles (Optional, for serving; estimated 12 slices)
- hot sauce (Optional, for serving)
Steps
- 1
Very finely chop one-quarter of the shrimp in a food processor or with a sharp knife until it forms a coarse paste. Transfer the paste to a medium bowl.
- 2
Finely chop the remaining shrimp and add it to the bowl with the shrimp paste.
- 3
Add the crumbled, pressed-dry tofu, chopped scallions, minced garlic, minced ginger, and kosher salt to the shrimp. Mix until evenly combined.
- 4
In a small bowl, combine the white miso, toasted sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise. Mash and stir until smooth.
- 5
Add the remaining mayonnaise to the miso mixture and whisk until the sesame mayonnaise is thoroughly blended.
- 6
Measure ¼ cup of the sesame mayonnaise into the shrimp mixture. Mix and mash thoroughly until the binder and aromatics are evenly incorporated. Reserve the remaining sesame mayonnaise for serving.
- 7
Lightly moisten your hands with water. Firmly press the shrimp mixture into 12 equal patties, each about 2½ inches in diameter and ¼ inch thick. Use approximately a scant tablespoon of mixture per patty.
- 8
Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the neutral oil and allow it to heat gently until shimmering but not smoking.
- 9
Add 6 patties to the skillet, leaving space between them. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until golden on the outside, opaque throughout, and just cooked through. Transfer the cooked patties to a large plate.
- 10
Carefully wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining oil, then cook the remaining 6 patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and fully cooked.
- 11
Smear the cut sides of the slider rolls with some of the reserved sesame mayonnaise.
- 12
Arrange shredded cabbage on the bottom halves of the rolls. Place one shrimp patty on each roll, then add sliced pickles and hot sauce if desired.
- 13
Top with the remaining roll halves and serve the sliders warm.
Notes
The patties can be formed a few hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook. The structured recipe's nutrition is listed per serving, but the exact amount of cabbage, pickles, and hot sauce is not specified; those toppings are therefore estimated in the ingredient nutrition.
