Katsu curry chick'n burger with crunchy tofu fries
Japanese 10 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- Peel and finely grate the ginger and garlic.
- To make the katsu curry, place the curry powder, ginger, garlic, soya sauce, vinegar, sugar, corn flour and water in a medium saucepan and mix to combine. Place over a high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for approx. 6-8 minutes or until thickened.
- To make the tofu fries, cut the tofu into ½ cm wide ‘fries’ then arrange on a baking sheet lined with a paper towel. Place another baking sheet on top and weigh it down. Allow to drain for 30 minutes. Toss the tofu ‘fries’ in the cornflour and salt.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 180°C.
- Deep fry the tofu in batches until crisp and golden – approx. 5 minutes.
- Fry the still-frozen burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until crispy and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Halve the buns and spread with the mayonnaise. Shred the lettuce and place on top. Top the lettuce with the burger patties, more mayonnaise and katsu sauce.
- Serve immediately with the fries.
