fried chicken sandwich vegan style

Fried dishes are always such a hassle to make, but the taste makes it worth it. For this one you will need some hoagie rolls or sourdough bread. And one package of gardein scallopini chicken. I heated up the chicken a bit in the microwave first so it was no longer frozen. To make the fried chicken: you will be dipping in to lots of stuff. Have a pan with 1 inch of veggie oil ready and heated for the frying, and a slotted spoon to take the stuff out. In one bowl 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 TBsp cayenne pepper, and 1 TBsp caribbean seasoning. In another bowl first you have to blenderize 1 cup cashews, water up to the level of 1 inch above the cashews in the blender, and 1 TBsp of tabasco. Once blenderized place in a bowl. You then get messy: Take the fake chicken fillet, dip it in the cashew cream first, then the flour mixture, then back in the cashew cream, and finally into the fryer. Fry for 3-5 minutes each side. Once fried, place on a hoagie roll and top with slaw of your choice. I bought a package of premade sliced cabbage and carrots, and added 1 sliced green pepper and 1 sliced red onion to the cabbage. Then for the slaw sauce I whisked together 1&1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 TBsp dijon mustard, and 1/2 cup olive oil. Mix the sauce over the slaw veggies and top your sandwich with it. I also liked adding a little bbq sauce to the top of the sandwich.
