So I’m very sure the only original things with cooking is the mix of ingredients,
So with being said, I wanted to know if there’s already a name to this.
What I do is take canned tuna, strain it and then add 2 tbsp of flour. I give it a good stir and then let it sit for 20 minutes. Once the 20 minutes is up, I’ll throw a raw egg and 3 tbsp of flour and then I’ll shake the container so there’s a nice doughy layer over the tuna. I’ll then fry it at roughly 425°F until golden brown (usually only takes a minute two). I’ll remove from the oil and then put over rice or Asian noodles. It’s a great lunch and you can add any sauce that you want to it (even though I recommend sweet or Asian sauces).
So is there an actual name to the tuna i fried? Or is it just a “wing it” kind of thing?
Your making Tuna Cake a’la Bachelor.
Breading.
The “usual” process- with chicken- goes something like:
- Marinate in buttermilk, salt and pepper (optional)
- dredge in flour, let it sit until it’s a dry gluey surface
- dip in egg
- dredge in flour/batter/breadcrumbs/panko
- Fry
Usually for chicken tenderloins and kids we just do a dredge in flour with salt, pepper and some chopped herbs (chives, parsley, basil) no marinade.
Yeah that’s a Fish cake
Not a proper fishcake, grumble grumble.
Dunno but I’d eat it. Bit of soy sauce and furikake, and maybe some vinegar/lemon.
What kinda soy though.
Nothing fancy. Kikkoman light soy solves most problems.
Gringo bacalaitos?
Sounds like just a weird way to bread something 🤷♂️ normally you’d take something like a cutlet, dip it in an egg mixture, then dip that in some sort of breading (flour, crumbs, etc.).
You’ve combined it all into a single step, which is probably fine, overall? I’d guess it gets a little less crispy due to total submersion (and wait time) of the breading
Not really. It’s still crunch on outside and soft on the inside.
Well you’d have to try it the normal way and see the difference!
