If so, not at all. I've read that it is better to let them sit for around 30 minutes before frying, but the yogurt binds the flour to the seitan so well, that I have never needed to wait any. I do dredge all the pieces while the first ones are cooking, therefore the last pieces do sit for a bit. <br><br>Fry on each side for 3 minutes. By the third batch (if you make that much) the oil begins to turn brown and the seitan begins to color faster. You can change the oil or remove your pieces sooner - maybe 2 minutes.<br><br>Thanks for visiting!Vegan Aidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11229261062624230715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087334849513050517.post-67874084760421213762010-07-12T15:20:03.795-07:002010-07-12T15:20:03.795-07:00I will definitely give this a try.

Looking forward to a recipe, but may even play around with it on my own since I'm thinking that I've gotten enough cooking experience under my belt now to be able to feel my way through it.

Thank you for visiting. I know exactly ...Hi Stacey! Thank you for visiting. I know exactly how you feel regarding having to give some things up. When we went vegan (not even vegetarian - it was one huge leap), we did it over a weekend and we felt the crunch as soon as our five-year-old began lamenting for a hot dog.<br><br>While there are some things that are more difficult, if not impossible to recreate vegan, most likely there is a way to recreate the feeling, if not the exact taste or texture. <br><br>CFS was a favorite in Texas, where my hubby is from and Lonestar Cafe was a favorite haunt. It is always gratifying when we can find a satisfying replacement for a taste we thought we would have to totally give up for good (read my Deviled Eggs recipe on the Recipe Page). <br><br>If there is something you are craving, let me know and I'll see what is in my bag of goodies. I like nostalgic food as well as healthy eating, especially since I am raising the next ethical generation.Vegan Aidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11229261062624230715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4087334849513050517.post-67172214432932825732010-07-11T20:18:08.852-07:002010-07-11T20:18:08.852-07:00Amazing!

I've been a vegetarian for about 6 weeks now and am loving it, but Chicken Fried Steak was something I was very sad to give up. It was always my comfort food as an omni. We would have it 2 or 3 times a year (like you said not very healthy) and I always looked forward to it. So excited that I can recreate it as a veg! Thanks again, I'm excited to add you to my google reader so I can keep up!Stacey @ Say Something Staceyhttp://saysomethingstacey.comnoreply@blogger.com
