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.
