tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: firm tofu

Tempeh is more nutritious, while firm tofu is budget-friendly.

panko breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: whole wheat breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: regular breadcrumbs

Whole wheat breadcrumbs offer more fiber, while regular breadcrumbs are often cheaper.

egg

🥗Healthier: flax egg

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flax egg is a healthier vegan alternative, while egg substitute can be more economical.

1

In a ziplock bag, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, and maple syrup, then add the cut tofu (be careful not to crumble it).

2

Make sure the marinade coats the tofu well, then freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

3

After freezing, thaw the tofu naturally on a plate or wrap it in kitchen paper and warm it for about 2 minutes. Press to remove excess moisture, leaving some.

4

Mix rice flour with water to create a batter. Dip each piece of tofu first in the batter, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

5

Deep fry in oil at 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown.

6

Serve on a plate and optionally drizzle with tonkatsu sauce and squeeze lemon juice.
