Thanks. I’ll tell my daughter you said so. We made a big batch and froze some. I’ve never tried freezing noodles, but they say it’s possible.
Ya know, I’ve had schnitzel that everyone else at the table said was a good version of the dish. I thought it totally bland and would never serve such a thing. So there obviously is a difference between the two dishes, but I don’t know what it is. I can make chicken fried steak, never tried to make schnitzel.
If I’m going to bread a thin piece of pounded meat, it’ll be a veal cutlet. Sadly, I’d have to make something else for my gf, who doesn’t eat veal.
I love noodles and I agree with @kayaker that they look delicious, so daughter gets another vote! As for freezing noodles, all I can say is that I’ve often bought frozen meals based on noodles, like Beef Stroganoff, and the taste and texture of the noodles was just fine.
Supposedly the most likely origin of chicken fried steak is that it was invented by German immigrants who wanted to make wienerschnitzel, but didn’t have access to veal. So they used steak pounded with a mallet to tenderize it. Although the two dishes probably diverged somewhat over the centuries.
Frito pie made with Wolf’s chili, tell ya whut.
Try thickly sliced eggplant instead. 
The crumbed fried meat component is basically the same, for mine it’s the gravy that makes the difference. Put the gravy you use on a chicken fried steak onto a beef schnitzel, same dish IMHO.
I love eggplant, I’ll try this.
Last night I made Turkey Kabobs. Marinated chunks of turkey, red bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and pineapple. The cherry tomatoes were tiny. I usually use a slightly bigger tomato (still cherry but bigger).
We have this once or twice a month.
Sauteed chicken breast with mole sauce.
Last night I made Chicken fingers, a box of stuffing and some warmed up homemade mac and cheese. Lazy Wednesday night and all that.
Last night was pork chops, pan fried in butter and EVOO with some mashed spuds and steamed veg. Broccoli, Carrot, Beans, Silverbeet and Zucchini, with gravy on the veges and apple sauce on the chops.
Tonight just a steak sandwich. Piece of scotch fillet, pan fried medium rare inside 2 pieces of toast with a fried egg and some hot English mustard.
Last night was another dinner we have a few times a month. My gf calls it Italian Sauté. It’s a little different each time we have it.
Last nights version consisted of eggplant (other times it’s zucchini or squash), tomatoes, onions, yellow bell peppers, jalapeños, cheese tortellini, kale, turkey sausages, various seasonings. My gf also made some bruschetta, but there was no bread in the house, so the bruschetta was added to the sauté.
It was delicious. Paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon.
I had my SiL and brother over last night, so I served pan fried white fish, small white potatoes steamed, and green beans steamed. It tasted very good.
Oh, tonight will be grilled chicken legs, Lundgren’s wild rice that I totally love, and steamed broccoli. Tomorrow night is the end-of-the-year district retirement dinner honoring our colleagues who will be entering their golden years, and then the weekend!
Better yet, add some grated Parmesan and maybe some Italian herbs to the breading, fry it up, top with a nice Marinara sauce and you have eggplant parmigiana. Molto bene!
So, I bought an eggplant yesterday and left it on the counter. Next thing I know, my gf was making EyeTalian Saute with it!
I make a side dish similar to that. Lebanese Eggplant, Zucchini, onion (in chunks) Capsicum (or Bell peppers) Cubed Paneer cheese, green beans, chickpeas, spinach (I hate Kale) and a tin of tomatoes, with some middle eastern seasoning.
If you want to you can throw some potato and/or sweet potato or pumpkin in, just takes a bit longer to cook.
Cook it up and serve on the side with your protein of choice.
Jeez, it sounds like a main course to me!

I’ve been known to have leftovers with a poached egg on top for breakfast,
