Ingredients
For the Katsu
- 150 g Extra Firm Tofu Pressed, if you can be bothered

- 1.5 g Mushroom Seasoning this is the one I use (affiliate)
- 1/2 cup Water
To Serve:
- 1 Green Onion cut on bias

Instructions
- Prepare your breading station by pouring Almond Milk into a mixing bowl, flour into another and bread crumbs into the last one. Add a pinch of salt other spices (if using) to the bread crumbs.
- Slice Tofu into finger-width slices. Salt either side then, using alternating hands, lay into flour, then milk, then bread crumbs and lay on a baking rack or tray. Repeat for the remaining slices.
- Bake at 350F/180C for 20-25 minutes until browned.
- Meanwhile, prepare the curry by slicing brown onion, quartering the potatoes and cutting the carrot into inch-thick logs. Brown onion in a medium pan, then add potatoes, carrot and curry powder and stir until fragrant (not very long at all). Add mushroom seasonin and water, stir and cover for around 15-20 minutes until vegetables are soft.
- To serve, pile brown rice to one side of a bowl and top with sliced tofu. Fill other side with curry sauce and garnish with sliced green onion.
