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

    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.
