TOFU KATSUDON

TOFU KATSUDON

By Sandra Djohan | January 22, 2021

I have made this vegetarian dish over 2 years now, I have always posted on my media but never share the recipe. I have been getting a lot of request for this recipe, it’s quite easy actually, using the same recipe as chicken katsu don, except with tofu. Alas I will share this anyway.  Stay safe and stay healthy

INGREDIENTS

  • 150 gr / sliced silken Japanese tofu (5 pcs each bowl)

  • 1 large egg 
  • 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, canola, etc) (for deep frying)
For the seasoning

  1. Dust salt and pepper onto tofu and dredge in the flour, the beaten egg (1 egg) and the panko.
