How to Prepare ‘Chicken-Fried’ Seitan Steak With Buffalo Vinaigrette [Vegan]

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, 3 tablespoons hot sauce, and the agave nectar. Add the celery, carrots, and bell pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flaxseed, milk, and remaining 1 tablespoon of hot sauce (if you like things really spicy, like I do, add more). In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal (you could use just one or the other), salt, and pepper to taste.
Working with 1 seitan cutlet at a time, coat each with the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the milk mixture, then in the seasoned flour again.
In a heavy skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat. Fry the seitan steaks until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of the skillet and how many you are making.
Divide the celery salad among 4 plates, reserving any excess vinaigrette. Top with the seitan steaks and sprinkle with vegan blue cheese and remaining vinaigrette.
