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?

    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
