Tuna Fritters 金枪鱼煎饼 - Featured in Group Recipes

Scottish Country Dancing

Last week, my Taiwanese computing classmates Linda and Lily invited a few of us to attend their Taiwan Women society monthly activities. Since our computing course was coming to an end and many of us had submitted our last assignment to the tutor, we decided it was a good idea to take a break. Hence, on Wednesday I accepted the invitation and attended their Scottish Country Dancing function. 




Scottish Country Dancing is one of the oldest folk dances in the world. This dance form is done in sets, normally of 3, 4 or 5 couples, that arrange themselves either in two lines (men facing ladies) or in a square. Since this was a Women society, some of us had to act as men and I was given a collar to dance as a man. I found the dancing steps were not difficult to learn. During the course of the dance, the dancers completed a set of formations enough times to bring them back to their opening positions. 

We all had an awesome time learning this joyful folk dance. After all the legs exercise, came the turn of mouth exercise insteadJ. We had a fabulous lunch sharing with every member who brought their delectable home cooked meals.

I had made this Tuna Fritters which could be served either cold or hot and great for parties or picnic.  I adapted this recipe from the Taste Magazine.

TUNA FRITTERS Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes INGREDIENTS: 210g can tuna in oil, drained, flaked (Or red Salmon ) 1 small onion, chopped finely 1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley 2 eggs, beaten lightly 1/3 cup (50g) Self raising flour ½ medium carrot, peeled and grated 3-4 potato (about 2 cups), peeled and grated ½ tsp salt, sprinkle of pepper ½ cup of cooking oil Lemon wedges for serving METHOD: 1.  Combine the tuna (Salmon), onion, parsley, eggs, grated carrot and flour in a medium bowl. 2.  Peel potatoes using largest holes of a hand held grater, grate the potatoes into the mixture. Potatoes discolour very quickly, so do this just before cooking. 3.  Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir well. Depending on the liquid of the canned fish, you may need to sprinkle a little more flour but the fritters should be moist and tender. 4.  Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan; drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture into the pan; fry fritters in batches, until golden brown on both sides and firm. Drain on paper towels. 5.  Serve the tuna fritters with mayonnaise mixture and lemon wedges, if desired 金枪鱼煎饼 准备时间：20分钟 烹饪时间：20分钟 材料： 210g罐头金枪鱼或罐头鲑鱼(控干油份，然后剥散) 一小洋葱，切碎 一汤匙香菜,切碎 2个鸡蛋，打散 1 / 3杯（50克）自发面粉 半条胡萝卜，去皮，磨碎 3-4马铃薯（约2杯），去皮，磨碎 半杯炸油 半茶匙盐，适量胡椒粉 柠檬片 方法： 1。把金枪鱼（鲑鱼），洋葱，香菜，鸡蛋，胡萝卜丝和面粉倒入碗中搅拌均匀。 2。土豆削皮，用刨丝器（大洞），刨成土豆丝。马铃薯很快变色，所以要在煎饼之前才做。 3。加入调味料盐和胡椒粉搅拌均匀。你可能需要多一点的面粉，面糊不要太干，较稀煎出来的煎饼才能外脆内软好吃。 4。平底锅中烧热半杯炸油，分次倒入适量的饼煳先煎至底面定型且略微金黄，再翻面煎至熟透酥香后，起锅 5。你可配上蛋黄酱和柠檬片
