Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 350 g extra firm tofu
Slice the tofu into about one inch thick patties.
  • 40 g red cabbage
Finely chop the red cabbage, cutting with the back of the middle finger against the knife and the thumb tucked in.
  • 20 g carrot
  • ½ whole apple
Cut the carrot and the half apple into thin matchsticks and chop the green onion.
  • ½ whole green onion
  • 2 tbsp chickpea mayo
  • salt
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
Put the slaw vegetables in a bowl with the chickpea mayo, a pinch of salt and the sriracha and mix; set aside.
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1½ tbsp soy sauce
  • water
Whisk the flour, soy sauce and a splash of water to a fairly thick consistency.
Pour the panko into another bowl, coat the tofu in the sticky flour mixture and then in the panko.
  • ½ cup panko
  • 1 whole burger bun
Slice the burger bun and toast the halves in a frying pan over medium heat about a minute each side, then move them to a cooling rack.
Heat the avocado oil in the frying pan over medium; it is ready when a bamboo chopstick raises fast-moving bubbles.
  • 1 cup avocado oil
Fry the breaded tofu two to three minutes each side, then rest it on a paper towel.
  • leafy greens
  • sesame seeds
Assemble with leafy greens, the tofu katsu and a generous scoop of slaw, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
