Vegan Katsu Curry

Cultural Context

Originating from Japan, Katsu Curry combines the beloved elements of katsu (breaded cutlet) and curry, a dish introduced from British cuisine in the 19th century. It has become a staple comfort food, often enjoyed with rice and a side of pickles. The vegan version retains the essence of the dish while catering to plant-based diets, showcasing how traditional recipes can adapt to modern dietary preferences.

1

Prepare the tofu by pressing it to remove excess moisture, then slice it into cutlets.

2

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with plant-based milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

3

Dip each tofu cutlet first in flour, then in plant-based milk, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

5

Fry the breaded tofu cutlets until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6

Remove the cutlets and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

7

In a separate pot, heat a little oil and sauté chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.

8

Add diced carrots and potatoes, cooking for a few minutes until slightly softened.

9

Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute to release the flavors.

10

Pour in vegetable broth and coconut milk, then bring to a simmer.

11

Season with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

12

Let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

13

Serve the fried tofu cutlets over rice, topped with the curry sauce and garnished with sliced green onions.
