vegan breading

Anyone got a tried and true vegan beading for frying?

I might be missing the question here, but what about Panko and olive oil? Weve also used honey(is that vegan?) to to help adhere Panko prior to frying.

John, Honey is not vegan, as it is an animal product.
Annemarie, I'd visited several vegan website and they almost all noted that the soymilk dip in place of the egg dip usually results in the breading falling off during frying.

I want to prepare green tomato slices and freeze them for later frying.

I used to use this recipe quite a bit when I was a vegan &/or vegetarian over a 3-4 year period. It's quite good. It comes from the "Fried Chicken" recipe in the "Vegetarian Starter Kit" on http://www.petaliterature.com/. It worked very well for me when I used it for both "mock chicken" & fried green tomatoes. I hope this helps.

• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 2 cups of unbleached white flour
• 4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast (optional)
• 3 tablespoons of yellow mustard
• 1/2 a cup of water
• 2 tablespoons of baking powder
• 3 1/2 cups of vegetable oil

Mix together the salt, onion powder, pepper, garlic powder, flour & nutritional yeast in a deep bowl. In a separate bowl, dilute the mustard with the water. Add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the mustard mixture & stir. Combine the baking powder with the remaining flour mixture. Dip your item in to the mustard batter, drop it in to the flour mixture to coat with the desired amount of "crust" & fry that sucker.

I used rice milk the other day to prepare some fried tofu and it was excellent. i used white flour but you could very easily sub in brown rice flour or some kind of nut flour. You can do flour, milk variant, then flour, or use panko or whatever bread crumbs you are using for the third step.

go here for the details:

scroll down until you see the ultimate tofu platter and follow that same procedure whether or not you're frying tofu or chicken. it works great! i think eggs cause things to brown way too fast without actually cooking what you're trying to fry in the first place.
