Ingredients
- 6 lices milk bread or regular white bread
- 1 lb tofu or firm tofu, strained of liquids, extra firm
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs add more if needed
- 4 tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch or all-purpose flour, add more if needed
- 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder add more if needed
- 1.5 teaspoon salt add more if needed
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- 6 tablespoon tonkatsu sauce store-bought
- 6 tablespoon mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise, Japanese style
Instructions
- Slice the block of tofu into 6 equal slices at about 0.5-inches thick. Pat each slice of tofu dry with a clean paper towel to remove as much excess moisture. Generously season both sides of the tofu with garlic powder and salt.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: in the first add cornstarch, in the second beat the eggs, and in the last bowl spread out panko breadcrumbs.
- Then evenly coat each slice of tofu in cornstarch, then in beaten eggs, and lastly in panko breadcrumbs. Make sure there are no bald spots.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat to 350 F with a digital instant read thermometer or insert a wooden utensil into the oil and look for rapid bubbles.
- Fry coated tofu in small batches on both sides until golden crispy brown. Transfer fried tofu to a wire rack or a plate with paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Place 2 pieces of fried tofu onto one slice of bread. Drizzle a generous amount of tonkatsu sauce and Japanese mayo over the tofu. Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread.
- Place a weighted plate on top of the sandwich for 5 minutes to compress it. Then slice off the crusts with a serrated knife and slice the sandwiches into thirds. Repeat the above process for the remaining two sandwiches. Enjoy!
