I admit that today\u2019s\u00a0recipe for Japanese Tofu Katsu is\u00a0more category comfort food than diet food. It’s a bit like a veggie twist on chicken nuggets, or schnitzel,\u00a0using tofu instead of meat.<\/p>\n
\"Tofu<\/a><\/p>\n
These little tofu nuggets are incredibly crispy and\u00a0highly addictive. Tofu Katsu is traditionally served with rice and a mildly spices Japanese Curry Sauce.<\/p>\n
\"Japanese<\/a><\/p>\n
Could I eat these crunchy little tofu\u00a0bites all the time? DEFINITELY! But we all know that\u00a0fried food\u00a0should be a once-in-a-while kind of thing. It sure is a special treat for when you feel like some homemade fast food without all the added preservatives and sugars. Did I mention that\u00a0tofu katsu makes a great vegetarian Super Bowl Snack? Skip the rice and just serve\u00a0the panko-breaded tofu with a bowl of curry sauce for dipping!<\/p>\n
\"Tofu<\/a><\/p>\n
Make sure you fry these little\u00a0tofu nuggets directly before consumption as they taste best fresh out of the frying oil.\u00a0These also brown pretty quickly so don’t even start puttering around the kitchen while frying them.<\/p>\n

The key element of this recipe is the extremely crispy breading! For our\u00a0Tofu Katsu, we are using Japanese Panko<\/a>\"\"\u00a0for a super crisp breaded coating. Panko has a light, airy, and delicate texture that helps it crisp as it cooks. The texture of panko makes it perfect for fried food like tofu katsu because it absorbs way less oil than breadcrumbs, and keeps food more crisp and crunchy than regular breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n
