Recipe⠀
Tofu “Katsu”⠀
(Makes 4 katsu)⠀
2 240g blocks fresh extra firm tofu ⠀
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste* ⠀
Canola oil, for frying (*Note: feel free to adjust the seasoning as needed. I had mine with curry sauce, which was already flavorful so I didn’t want the dish to be too salty or anything)⠀
_⠀
Batter ⠀
1/4 cup flour⠀
1/2 tbsp + 1 tsp cornstarch ⠀
1/2 tsp baking powder⠀
1/2 tsp salt⠀
1/4 cup water⠀
_⠀
Breading ⠀
1 cup japanese breadcrumbs, or more as needed ⠀
_⠀
1. Drain water from the tofu by wrapping them in paper towels and then placing a heavy flat surface (a board or plate) on top of each. Leave for 15 minutes until water has been absorbed by the towels.⠀
2. Slice each tofu into two 3/4-inch thick square slabs. Sprinkle with salt as needed.⠀
3. Prepare the batter by mixing all the ingredients until smooth. This will be a really thick batter. In another plate or tray, add the breadcrumbs. ⠀
4. Place each tofu in the batter then coat into the breadcrumbs. Repeat this step for the rest of the tofu. ⠀
5. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Once hot (you can test this by putting a little bread crumbs), add in the tofu. Fry for around 6-8 minutes over medium heat until golden brown. Take out of the oil then turn off the heat. ⠀
6. Let cool for 5-8 minutes then slice diagonally into strips.
