What's the name for this technique (lemm.ee)

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?

Breading.

The “usual” process- with chicken- goes something like:

  1. Marinate in buttermilk, salt and pepper (optional)
  2. dredge in flour, let it sit until it’s a dry gluey surface
  3. dip in egg
  4. dredge in flour/batter/breadcrumbs/panko
  5. 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.

Gringo bacalaitos?

[–] str82L 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dunno but I'd eat it. Bit of soy sauce and furikake, and maybe some vinegar/lemon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What kinda soy though.

[–] str82L 1 points 2 months ago

Nothing fancy. Kikkoman light soy solves most problems.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not really. It's still crunch on outside and soft on the inside.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Well you'd have to try it the normal way and see the difference!
