1/4 teaspoon sage

Directions

1

Pat the seitan pieces dry with absorbent paper towels and set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat together the egg and soymilk.

In another bowl, combine the cornmeal, arrowroot, and Savory Seasoning Blend.

Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan.

While the oil is heating, dip the seitan pieces into the egg mixture, then coat the pieces with the seasoned cornmeal.

Without overcrowding the pan, carefully deep-fry the seitan in small batches until golden brown and crispy (5-8 minutes).
