Gaz never disappoints! This katsu is absolutely incredible. The coating is so crispy and the curry sauce is perfectly mild and aromatic. I air fried mine at 200C for 15 mins and it was just as crispy with less oil. Serve with pickled ginger and shredded cabbage!
Better than Wagamama! The curry sauce is so easy to make and tastes amazing. I used super firm tofu and pressed it overnight - the crispiest katsu ever. My meat-eating boyfriend couldn't believe it was vegan!
Really good recipe! The curry sauce alone is worth making. I tried it with seitan too and it worked great. Would have given 5 stars but the coating fell off a bit - next time I'll press the tofu longer.
