TOFU KATSU CURRY






TOFU KATSU CURRY





Katsu tofu curry. Simple, elegant and totally delicious.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • olive oil
  • 400 g firm tofu pressed
  • 1 red onion finely diced
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 juice of lime
  • 500 ml veg stock
  • 1 large carrot finely diced
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • thumb size piece of ginger finely diced
  • handful gluten free breadcrumbs 
  • 2 tbsp gluten free flour ( I used corn flour)
  • vegan milk (I used almond)

Instructions

First press your tofu to drain any excess water (5-10 minutes)

Then, meanwhile, in a saucepan, add the olive oil, garlic, carrot, onion, ginger and fry for a few minutes.

Now add the spices, lime juice, flour and vegetable broth and stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 to 15 minutes until it begins to thicken, making sure to stir every 5 minutes

Once the tofu has drained the slice into “steaks”, aim for 8 slices. In a bowl, add your vegan milk and in another bowl, add the gluten-free breadcrumbs

Dip the tofu steaks in the milk and then in the breadcrumb bowl, making sure to put the breadcrumbs in the tofu

Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of olive oil and fry the tofu on each side for a few minutes until it is golden and crisp

Finally, the Katsu sauce must be ready, you can either pass it through a sieve and pass it through a sieve so that it is smooth or simply make it slightly thick (depending on your preference)

Serve in a bowl with rice and salad leaves

Happy Cooking Time.
