One of my favourite dinners is a Katsu curry and you know what is excellent? Combining it with tofu! My preferred rice to curry ratio is 2:1 but you however much as you like.
Effort: 2/3
Ingredients
2x tofu blocks
1x Egg
35g Curry
15g Panko Crumbs
Cornflour
Prep
- Slice the tofu into 1/3 pieces and dry them off as much as possible.
- Beat the egg until fully combined.
- Prep your dry goods.
Let's Go!
1. Cover your tofu in cornflour.
2. Dunk it in the egg.
3. Roll it in the panko.
4. Repeat with all the other pieces.
Pour out more cornflour and panko if you need it.
5. Heat up some oil on high heat. Once it's hot enough (you can test this by dipping in a skewer, cocktail stick or if you really need to, the end of a wooden spoon. There should be little bubbles surrounding it when the oil is hot enough.) turn it down a little (mine went from 12 to 10) and gently place the tofu in to fry.
And in case you're wondering, no. I have never tested if my oil is hot enough using the end of my wooden spoon.
6. Once the tofu has browned, turn it over and fry the other side. After both sides have browned, remove from the oil and set on some kitchen roll.
7. At this point, you can also start boiling some water for your curry. I used around 1/3 bowl of water.
8. Once the water has boiled, turn the heat down to low and melt the curry. Once it's fully dissolved and reached the consistency of your preference (you can add more curry if you want it stronger or the ole cornflour + water if you want to thicken it up quicker) we are ready to plate up!
OPTIONAL
Well, I say optional but throwing out the leftover egg was never an option to me so I scrambled it!
9. Plate up with rice! If you want to make your dish look aesthetically pleasing you can put the rice in a bowl first and turn back out and arrange OR you can whack it in a dish and get going, up to you.
Spring onion garnish optional but pretty ^^
Let's eat!
