Tofu that looks like Chicken Meat | How to make Tofu 'Meat' | Crispy Tofu Katsu Recipe

Hey Foodies! This Tofu Katsu is more of a comfort food than diet food. It’s a bit like a veggie twist on chicken nuggets, or schnitzel, using tofu instead of meat. This is a vegetarian version of classic Japanese Tonkatsu, usually made with chicken or pork. Served with steaming rice, thinly sliced cabbage and homemade tonkatsu sauce, this dish makes a fantastic comfort food.

I tried this yesterday and it turned out super delicious! My family also loved it (: Thank you!!

No need to use eggs. I usually use a vegan yogurt like oat or soy yogurt, mixed with a little bit of water and some black salt, and it makes a perfect dredge.

Important to note that the tofu you need to get this texture is I believe called 'Silken Firm' not the usual Firm Tofu available in most shops in the UK, for example, which goes spongey.

[MrNestaya]

Delicious recipe.
For those who are wondering, it is indeed "firm tofu" and not "silken tofu" but not that of your Biocoop like those in Europe.
This tofu is too compact.
This is "Asian" firm tofu that you will only find in the Asian supermarket.
This firm tofu is soaked in a liquid and can be bought in the chilled section. I struggled to find the right tofu to find this texture :)
For vegetarians you can replace the anchovy worcestershire sauce with balsamic vinegar and tamarind paste (in equal measure) which gives almost the same taste.
The eggs can be replaced by flour and water in equal parts too...
For better flavors soak the tofu for a good half hour in a cold vegetable broth before pressing it first.

This is one few vids where tofu itself is transformed
Amazing

My daughter just walked by and saw this. I guess this is lunch for tomorrow😊 It’s so beautiful!

[MiissIsis]

The song at the breading and frying portion is a hit 😭

I had Covid in November and my tastebuds have been on and off. At first I wasn’t able to taste at all, now 2 weeks ago I cannot handle the taste or smell of meat or certain dairy products. I’ve only been able to eat seafood but I wanted to find other alternatives, one being tofu. I’m so thankful for the recipes you put together because they look like the real deal. I’ll be trying more in the future😊.

I just finished making this and it’s so delicious!!! Even my father who hates tofu, tried it and was amazed. Thank you :)

[e.niebres]

You’re really good at this. Very inspiring and I like how clean and simple you are in your kitchen!

[strawberryninjaoldchannel]

The intro - That tofu "chicken" looks so much like the real thing !

[nightfury]

My family loves tofu and I love how you put everything together in one plate. Will definitely give this a try. Thank you for sharing💜💜💜

[raks]

I loved chicken katsu and I went vegan, which makes me sad :( But thanks to your video I can make it happen! Can't wait to try it!

[parkerdinhwilliams]

Great recipe (minus the eggs)! Personally I soak the tofu in vegetable broth for a few minutes after getting all the water out and it sucks up all that flavor. Then when you bite in, its like juicy meat.

[betinaaustin]

Absolutely Beautiful! This looks so delicious! That second song along with the preparation was very relaxing.
That music was very nice. 😊

[MariaGoJa]

This is one of the most delicious and perfect meals I’ve ever made. What an amazing recipe!! 🤤 😋

[WhatsUpTin]

This looks really good! Will try this recipe

[katiaantonova]

Definitely want to make this, with an egg substitute. Beautiful and love the music and great videography!

[JD-mkzc]

I am going to make this, I eat a lot of tofu, so I will happily add this to my menu ❤

[cyndeepokorny]

This looks easy, tasty and like the original version of the nu vegan chicken sandwich that I miss so much! Definitely trying this!!!
