Our katsu curry sauce is a huge hit with our customers - and is completely vegan!
Try this crispy tofu paired with white rice and our easy to make curry sauce for a delicious twist on the Japanese favourite.
To perfect the texture of this, we recommend freezing the tofu in the pack for a few days before using, this must be fully defrosted before cooking - this drains excess water and leaves air pockets behind.
The tofu must be drained - the excess liquid gently squeezed out before slicing.
We use extra firm tofu in this recipe as we find it mimics the texture of a traditional katsu the most.
Ingredients
1 block extra firm tofu
60g flour
1tbsp cornflour
65g panko breadcrumbs
2tbsp soy sauce
Method
In a bowl, add the flour, cornflour, a pinch of salt and mix well, add around 100ml water, stirring continuously, until a thick batter is formed.
In a separate bowl, add the panko and salt & chilli seasoning, mix till combined.
After pressing for at least 20 minutes, cut the tofu into 4 equal slices and pat dry.
Taking on piece at a time, dip the tofu into the batter mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture, repeating steps until well coated.
Add the curry sauce to a pan with 600ml cold water, bring to the boil, stirring continuously.
Add the soy sauce and transfer to a pouring jug.
Cook the crispy tofu as preferred, we recommend deep frying, shallow frying or air frying (use a spray oil if using this method) ensure the tofu is golden brown and crispy.
Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve on a bed of white rice and top with the curry sauce.
