People think fried food is bad, but it depends on:
-Your Condition
-The Type of Oil
-What You Are Frying
-How Much You Eat
-What You Eat After
If you are healthy, and not morbidly obese, or have not recently had stomach surgery or some other condition which prevents you from digesting high-fat foods, you can have fried foods once in a while (eg twice per month).
But, you should be using sunflower or safflower oil (most restaurants do not), and make sure the oil is not recycled or superheated.
Also, you should have vegetables, not animal foods, those are already too fatty, why would you make them fattier?
And don’t overdo it, just eat 5-6 bites, and chew them well. Have some grains and greens with your meal, and very important–have radish or ideally daikon (white japanese radish)
with the meal, then a small, real pickle (no vinegar or colors) after. This will help digest the oil, and get your gallbladder working to eliminate the bad stuff.
Here’s a nice recipe for you…
1 cup shredded potatoes
3/4 cup shredded parsnips
1/4 cup shredded onions
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup egg replacer or soy flour
1 TS sunflower or safflower oil
1 TS umeboshi vinegar (or shoyu)
1/2 cup edenblend or soy milk (unsweetened), you can also use veg. stock 1/2 ts sea salt
pepper, italian spices, mustard seed to taste
Blend and chill for :30
Make pancakes before frying
Fry in 1/4″ sunflower or safflower oil on medium high,
thinner pancakes are more likely to cook all the way
through and be tastier, so push them down when you
flip them.
Serve with daikon radish and apple sauce, or soy sour cream.
