Tofu Katsu Curry

Tofu Katsu Curry is a popular vegan-friendly dish originating in Japan. It is a vegan alternative to the traditional katsu curry, which is made with pork cutlets. The dish consists of fried cubes of tofu coated in panko breadcrumbs, served in a mild curry sauce with vegetables. It is a comforting and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main meal or side dish. The balanced flavors of the curry and the crunchy texture of the tofu make it a popular dish among vegans and non-vegans alike.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 2 blocks firm tofu, drained, pressed, and cut into 8 slices
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper, to taste

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Dredge each tofu slice in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Step 4
    Place the tofu slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through.
  • Step 5
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until it is shimmering. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  • Step 6
    Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Delicious! The tofu katsu curry was rich and creamy thanks to the homemade curry sauce, and the crispy tofu was the perfect topping. Highly recommended!
