Chicken fried steak with creamy mushroom sauce.
I tried this (these) recipie from Fast and Easy last night and was pleased with the results.
The mushroom sauce was a pain in the patootie though, and took three times as long to make as she said. She says to reduce it down to "almost dry" after adding the chicken broth, but after half an hour of boiling and still nowhere near that I gave up and added the cream. I had to add guar gum to get it to thicken into anything resembling gravy and the flavor was pretty pale, so I added some white wine and onion powder. In the end it was very yummy and I'm sure it will be thicker when I reheat it.
The chicken fried steak was outstanding though! I liked it better than any I have ever had (not a big fan of CFS to start with) and Russ really liked it too. It was very fast to make, too.
Now that I have some bake and fry mix made up I want to try coating some shrimp. I don't have a deep fryer though, can I just heat oil in my wok and cook them that way? How can I tell when the oil is hot enough?
