The Fryening
Did Vegan Man get a deep fryer? Why yes he did! And that means making things hot and crispy by dunking them in hot oil!
I was brain dead after a long day of work, so the first thing into the pot was a package of store-bought spring rolls. Look at them bubbling away!
The results of The Fryening were crisptastic. It’ll be hard to go back to baking, but I vow to use it sparingly (the small 1.1 liter size helps with this, it’s definitely for side dishes). That being said, I’ve got a huge list of things that need frying. Tofu, tempura, potstickers, curry puffs, and so much more.
What else should I fry?

Onion rings!

I have recently been going nuts over sweet potato fries. They are so good. You know I agree that some things need to be deep-fried, like spring rolls, egg rolls, fries, things like that. I don’t like to eat too much that is fried but I am just never as happy with my veggie spring rolls when I bake them.
You are so a cool guy, vegan man. Wish there were more vegan men out there.

Word on the street is that one can make perfectly acceptable vegan hostess treats of various and assorted kinds… ergo, the next step is to create the perfect twinkie and then deep fry it.
Although, my friend who will eat anything said that the deep fried twinkie was actually fairly horrendous.

Fun new gadget! I’m a wee bit jealous of your willingness to fry. Fried foods taste SOOOOO good, but I’m SOOOO wary of all the fat. I guess once in a while isn’t so bad, right?!

The obvious answer: everything!

Vegan Man, you have more restraint than I do. I dare not have a fryer in the house lest fryening occur daily. Ideas? What about breaded and fried jalapeno wheels!
