Savor the warmth of crispy, golden tofu cutlets drizzled with a rich curry sauce, transforming any meal into a festive occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp curry powder

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  3. Set up three bowls: one for flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with plant-based milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip into plant-based milk, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry each cutlet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. In a pot, combine coconut milk, vegetable broth, soy sauce, and curry powder.
  7. Simmer gently while stirring until the sauce thickens.
  8. Arrange crispy cutlets on plates and pour the curry sauce generously over them.
  9. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
