Method

Paste. Chop a quarter of 450 g raw king prawns very finely to a coarse paste and put in a medium bowl; finely chop the rest and add with 115 g crumbled firm tofu pressed dry in kitchen paper, 4 tbsp finely chopped spring onions, 3 very finely chopped garlic cloves, 2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger and ½ tsp salt.
- 2
Mayo. Mash 1 tbsp white miso, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil and 2 tbsp mayonnaise until smooth in a small bowl, then whisk in the rest of 225 g mayonnaise; mix 4 tbsp of it into the prawn mixture, mashing well, and keep the rest for serving.
- 3
Shape. Press the mixture firmly into 12 patties about 6 cm across and 2 cm thick with damp hands.
- 4
Chill. Cook the patties straight away, or chill them for up to a few hours first.
- 5
Fry. Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low, cook 6 patties for 2-3 min per side until golden, opaque throughout and 63 °C in the centre; transfer to a large plate.
- 6
Repeat. Repeat with the remaining 2 tbsp oil and 6 patties.

Serve. Spread the remaining sesame mayonnaise on 12 split slider bun bottoms, add finely shredded cabbage, a prawn and tofu patty, sliced pickles, hot sauce if using, and the bun tops.
Storage
The patties can be shaped a few hours ahead and chilled; cook shortly before serving and eat immediately whilst warm. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
