Our Favourite Vegan Katsu Recipes

Here are our top picks, all you’ve got to do is narrow it down to one.

Katsu curry 

The name katsu traditionally refers to panko breadcrumb-covered meats in Japanese cuisines. However, these delicious recipes are all vegan, so you’ll only find expertly cooked tofu and hearty slices of veg. 
The curry sauce that’s integrally linked to the katsu is a fragrant and mild curry made from plenty of fresh ginger, turmeric, soy sauce and coconut milk.
