Vegan Tofu Katsu Curry - 曰式炸豆腐咖喱

Crispy tofu katsu with flavorful Japanese curry served on a bed of rice is what you need to try today! The tofu is perfectly seasoned and fried to a golden brown. The crunchiness is so addictive that it can be served as-is. The curry has melt-in-your-mouth potatoes that go so well with a bowl of warm sushi rice. Thanks for watching!

[@WoonHeng]

nah, I just love food. lol Sending love back to you and wishing you well. Best, WoonHeng

[@ratna79]

Hi there Woon Heng, I so want to try this - but would like to know, what kind of curry powder is that? Here we have labels for curry powder,like fish curry powder or meat curry powder. what's yours?

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks Ratnavathy. I made my own mix or you can use Japanese curry cubes.

[@raymondphung746]

That crunch on the Katsu!!!!!

[@WoonHeng]

so crunchy! yum

[@ThePotThickens]

OMG, this looks incredible!

[@WoonHeng]

many many thanks! :-)

[@lynnsey9343]

Thank you so much, this looks just good enough to make me happy when I'm craving comfort food but have to obey my restrictive diet.

[@lauralencom]

made this tonight and it was delicious! I had some Kohlrabi left over so I used that, which was a good addition. I agree with the person who said using the sieve was a good technique, I will definitely adopt this in other recipes, too!

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks so much Laura, I seriously love the kohlrabi's texture too. So happy to hear you loved it and thanks for sharing your feedback. best, WoonHeng

[@candacetoms4927]

I love your technique for mixing the roux into the liquid using a sieve. I’m going to try that!

[@WoonHeng]

thanks so much, hope you give this a try too. :)

[@bbylucy666]

I love your content so yummy so aesthetic
Ty for sharing 💗

[@yayalu8650]

I tried this recipe and it was absolutely delicious! The apples and jams really add a mellow flavor to it.

[@WoonHeng]

Thank you so so much, Yaya! I'm so glad you loved it. :)

[@lovelynavi95]

If we air fry tofu instead, can you provide instructions for that?

[@abigaellapid97]

Can I airfry the tofu katsu instead of deep fried?

[@skittle-chan4788]

I love how she cooks food so delicately

[@Miko-qd1qv]

made it! i'm in loveeeeee 💜 thank you so much!

[@vin2164]

made this, was a huge hit with the family! super good

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks so so much! Really appreciate it. :-)

[@RatchetPo]

Can I add soy milk to make the curry more thick?

[@lingliu8829]

We tried it today. Delicious! Thank you WoonHeng. I'm wondering which plant-based egg you use, could you also share it with me? Much appreciate your reply. With kind regards to you and your family:)

[@WoonHeng]

Hello Ling, thanks so much. I'm so happy to hear that you loved the recipe. I used Just Eggs. If you can't get it, you can always use chickpea water (aquafaba) or thick unsweetened plant milk like oat or cashew. Please let me know if you need anything else. :)

[@lingliu8829]

[@sana143bana]

Could I use a real egg instead of plant based egg? I understand it wouldn't be vegan anymore, it's just not available to me

[@WoonHeng]

Hi Savana, I'm sure you can, I haven't tried it yet. Let me know how it goes.

[@bluemush86]

I’m going to try this, w/o tofu. Will use vegetables instead and golden curry cubes. Thanks for the video.

[@WoonHeng]

yum, golden curry cubes sound good! thanks a lot

[@kun0ichi77]

Hello thanks for sharing :D , I'm new to vegetarian Asian cuisine and your recipes look very delicious! What can I replace the big mushrooms please? ~~

[@WoonHeng]

Hello Tiffanie, so glad to have you. You can use any mushrooms that you love. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks again.

[@sallyphu5450]

I'm so exhilarated that I've found your channel! YAH!!!!

[@WoonHeng]

yay, thanks so much Sally! :-) Welcome.

[@eruna2214]

The sound of the katsu being cut is so satisfying 😍

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks so much, Elena. :-)

[@siewleewong4747]

Hi, just found your amazing food channel! Thanks so much for your kind sharing on plant based food. May i know what type of tofu are you using? I am from Malaysia. Not sure if i can get the same type as the one u are using in your videos. Do you freeze the tofu? Thanks 🙏

[@WoonHeng]

It's firm tofu and you'll get tau kwa from Malaysia (those soak in water with a thicker outer layer from the market). :-) Yes, I did freeze mine on this recipe.

[@debbieporter1513]

This looks delicious

[@WoonHeng]

Many thanks, hope you give it a try too. :-)

[@Schnuffel88Maus]

Apple ??? 🤯

[@ivyginny]

I really like the sound of you preparing things... any chance there'll be a video sometime where it's more audible?

[@zhucookkitchen5172]

so relaxing to watch it ~~

[@WoonHeng]

thanks so much! Did you mean me doing a voiceover? I'll need to back to that. ;-)

[@kwhandy]

how you make that veggie stock?

[@WoonHeng]

Hi Handy, sorry for the late. I normally use a variety of vegetables to make the stock. If you are in time crunch, you can try adding Yondu to water or get store bought veggie stock. Thanks a lot!

[@konrai1972]

Yum what to use if you can't get plant egg?

[@ThePotThickens]

I would make an egg like batter with besan (chick pea) flour.

[@WoonHeng]

There are so many recipes online that you can try. Just google chickpea omelette or vegan omelette. :-)

[@kakellyploles]

How to make vegie stock?

[@WoonHeng]

Hi there, for this one, I used Yondu with water. You can also buy your favorite veggie stock at the store. Let me know if you have any other questions at all.

[@komtooncartoondrawings2562]

[@WoonHeng]

Love ittt!! 🤤🤤

[@WoonHeng]

thanks bunches 💕

[@sv8911]

There are so many ways and reasons, to avoid a plant-based egg. Give Mom a break. There are easier ways.

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks a lot SV for sharing your feedback. This is the easiest way for me at this moment. Or if you can't find it, you can skip that and use plant milk instead. Hope this helps. Have a good day. Thanks!

[@malv4935]

Soooooo beautiful!!

[@WoonHeng]

thank you for your sweet words. 😊
