For some of you wondering what Tuna Floss is, do check it out on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rousong">Wikipedia</a>. Tuna Floss belongs to this group of dried and seasoned shredded meat snack (e.g. Pork Floss, Chicken Floss) with light and soft cottony texture. Most of the times, you can find this processed food item in Asia; and in some Chinese supermarkets in the United States.<br /><br />Often salty, chicken/pork/fish floss is often used to complement bland foods/dishes, for example, as toppings on plain porridge/congee or to <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/05/tortilla-egg-pancake.html">fill up a sandwich</a>.<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4304/35626886090_466fafa799_z.jpg" /><br /><br />With the concept of "shredded", "seasoned" and "dried", you can jolly well make meat floss at home. I would not say it is complicated; but definitely it is a tedious process that requires patience. In fact, avid homecooks have it homemade so that they can make healthier meat floss versions. Store-bought meat floss is often over-seasoned (high sodium, high sugar) and contains added preservatives in order to make the "meat" tasty and give it a longer shelf-life. Only when it is DIY, made from scratch at home, that seasonings can be toned down with no added preservatives.<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4295/35626887110_a864591f8d_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><a name="more"></a>Thanks to my friend's homemade tuna floss (made from a mixture of canned tuna fish and spices) that I created these no-stove required appetizer-style <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2013/08/pea-corn-pumpkin-seed-lettuce-wraps.html">lettuce wraps</a>.<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4316/35205807943_bd457029f3_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><b>Tuna Floss Chickpeas Lettuce Endive Wraps 鱼松鹰嘴豆生菜包</b><br />Start with butter head lettuce and Belgium endive as the base<br />Top with organic canned chickpeas and homemade (or store-bought) tuna floss (<span style="color: blue;">Note</span>: Substitute tuna floss with canned tuna - flake the canned tuna chunk to smaller pieces then mix and toss with chickpeas)<br />Garnish with radish sprouts<br /><br />You can also try this simpler version of vegetarian  <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2013/08/pea-corn-pumpkin-seed-lettuce-wraps.html">Pea and Corn Kernels Lettuce Wraps</a>.<br /><br />Sharing with <a href="http://www.21stcenturyhousewife.com/">Hearth and Soul</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;">Tag: </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/lettuce+endive+wrap" rel="tag">lettuce endive wrap</a> </span><br /><script src="https://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("ea808497442c6dbff6ecc79cee2b6ebd"); </script><fb:fan connections="0" logobar="0" profile_id="225194391877" stream="0" width="300"></fb:fan><br /><div style="font-size: 8px; padding-left: 2px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/An-Escape-to-Food/225194391877">An Escape to Food</a> on Facebook</div>
