Easy Vegan KATSU CURRY!

[@ericlam3136]

Yes, in Japan, Curry restaurants would add apple sauce into their sauce for the extra sweetness. It's a game-changer. Good one. I also make eggplant, sweet potato as Katsu for variety.

[@nickmeale1957]

Thanks for this, I'm using these tips

[@cheznardi]

Love the variety that you’re bringing to the dish.

[@brainfry]

wow! great stuff! I might try adding some butternut squash as well!

[@LT-ri8rq]

It's a joy to see Derek in the kitchen.

[@HenchHerbivore]

One of my very favourite dishes! Nice job! 👏👏👏

soon simnett is gonna look like you

[@virgosmile]

That looks so devine!❤ added it to my MUST TRY!

[@vanessam8982]

If you have an Asian market near you, buy some S&B curry powder. It’s made in Japan and it’s the best. Also: I add a grated apple when I cook the aromatics. You’ve inspired me to make Japanese curry for dinner!

[@Simnettnutrition]

I will try to find it!

[@michelewilliams4485]

This looks amazing thank you for making it oil free and please make more.

[@EmForest]

This looks so good and is timely as I was trying to figure out my meal prep for the week. Thank you for another delicious and easy idea!

[@cheznardi]

Love the little feature on Wagamama. Was my fave restaurant when I lived in London.

[@Simnettnutrition]

It's so good, I wish there was one close to us

[@cheznardi]

@@Simnettnutrition there was one in Atlanta here and it did not last. Closed down🌱

[@ajourneytolove]

My husband and I always get the Vegatsu when we have a cheeky Wagas. 😅 I can’t wait to try this recipe!! x

[@Simnettnutrition]

I hope you like it!

[@ursulamelia7136]

Looks fab!!!! We love katsu curry!!!!😍😍😍

[@AmroNaddy]

Ha I was about to make some katsu curry with tempeh for lunch but couldn’t find a good recipe … will be visiting Tokyo for the first time in two weeks, looking forward to trying the real thing when I’m there!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Awesome! I hope you enjoy the recipe, I'm sure the Japanese curry you are going to try in Japan is going to out of the world!

[@iakivpekarskyi1631]

awesome! Thank you!

[@HappyVegan72]

Oh yeah, making this soon!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy!

[@jamtoast6660]

I’m making this tonight for supper!

[@melrox8809]

My mouth is watering 🤤 looks so delicious 😋🤤

[@SallyLock103emeCaris]

Looks delicious ❤

[@TheWellnessCuess]

Will definitely try this ! Thanks ⭐

[@Simnettnutrition]

Hope you like it!

[@1973AdamP]

Glad you found Wagamamas! It's great for a variety of vegan dishes, but Vegatsu is my favourite 😋

[@4BluDolphins]

I am definitely going to make that dish, Thank you

[@paulspanish-he2ki]

Nice!! I really like katsu curry! Thanks, Derek

[@marlies7444]

Thanks for this great and simple recipe. I do not like to use the cubes, and all the homemade recipes I found so far used a lot of ingredients. I think I be happy with your easy recipe. Also like the no oil part.

[@Theeverydaymistic]

I’ve never tried curry like that . Looks so so good. I’m definitely making that tomorrow night .

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy!

[@shannonduarte1257]

Wow! Thanks so much. I have been craving Japanese curry and figured it was not a vegan option. So glad to try this 😊

[@Simnettnutrition]

I hope you like it :D

[@micheleg3040]

Yummmm! Haven’t had that since I lived in San Diego and they had a restaurant with vegan katsu.

[@Belaina]

When I was living in Japan it was so hard to find a vegan katsu, so I'm so happy about this video! Couple of fun facts: the word katsu is derived from the german word Kotelett (or maybe the English cutlet?), but a katsu is actually quite different from an actual Kotelett as katsu more resembles a Wiener Schnitzel. Also, when I learned Japanese the word "wagamama" was the funniest word ever for me, it means "selfish" btw, so not sure why this place is called like that, but I like it :D

[@rebeccagreen692]

I'm from the UK and haven't ever tried Wagamama. The curry looks delicious 😊

[@elliotserruys]

The Vegatsu is pretty good

[@Simnettnutrition]

Oh you have to try it! the Vegatsu, bang bang cauliflower and Banana Katsu dessert are amazing.

[@Confusinglybeautiful]

Wagamama is so good, i visited it in Brussels last Year 🌱

[@Simnettnutrition]

It's an amazing restaurant! The banana katsu dessert lives rent free in my head. It's one of the best desserts I've ever had.

[@Confusinglybeautiful]

@@Simnettnutrition sounds awesome 🤤 and i need to try your Katsu recipe soon.

[@TheELQOL]

SO EXCITED TO WHIP THIS ONE UP!!!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes enjoy!

[@vidyasampathkumar7113]

This is going into the weekly rotation !

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy!

[@sharonknorr1106]

Been meaning to make katsu for some time now. Sounds like a good use for the latest grocery haul including tofu.

[@daniellet7203]

A lot of Japanese curries use apple powder for sweetness and flavor. You can try grating an apple into your sauce for more sweetness or sub out the sugar

[@Simnettnutrition]

That's interesting! I used wagamama's recipe to keep it OG but will try that another time and see how it is!

[@dugfriendly]

I don’t do tofu much, but found some 2lb extra firm tofu cutlets for sale and baked them after rolling in cornstarch. So simple and good. Gotta redo with your seasoning ❤

[@jeanr7089]

I’m excited to try this one! Have you ever froze your tofu and then thaw it? It gives the tofu a more dense “meaty” texture. That might give this recipe a little bit extra!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes! But I am impatient and hate waiting for it to thaw lol

[@vegan_teen2811]

You could also make a pumpkin katsu instead of a tofu one. In England, Wasabi makes theirs with pumpkin katsu and in my opinion it tastes even better than tofu!

[@Simnettnutrition]

That sounds pretty cool! Is it just baked pumpkin?

[@vegan_teen2811]

@@Simnettnutrition Yep, they coat their pumkin croquette in breadcrumbs and bake them.

[@sharonboyden5660]

Mmmmm yummy looking. I do Katsu curry sometimes. Found a nice pre made healthy sauce though lol

[@ljean1825]

Hot damn I'm definitely making this tonight

[@Simnettnutrition]

Let me know how it turns out!

[@mikeskylark1594]

Nice tofu curry

[@Jalbert1989]

Joining to the replies of "you should try adding apple" next time you try it ^^ and/or carrots. As a less healthy version you can also add potatoes (in chunks, not blended) that also helps thicken up the curry and makes it more filling for very little money.

[@sethhoyt2202]

That's hardcore man

[@Kx____]

Derek thanks so much for the videos! love your recipes! also sorry i KNOW it's been said before but you look so good bald like this, the difference is just unreal it really brings out all the features in your face and somehow your face lights up more. i can't explain it well (sorry english is my 3rd language). just want to say you look great!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words :D

[@tamparealestatephotographer]

I love Japanese curry! I used to live in Japan and fell in love with it there. This recipe looks great I definitely need to try it without the blocks. Not a fan of the ingredients in those. Btw the shaved head looks great bro!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy! It's a great sauce to put on anything, no need for the tofu. It would work great on veggies too.

[@mariegreen2203]

For those of us who can’t stand coconut milk in their curries do you recommend at least adding some kind of plant milk for a thinker creamier texture like maybe soy milk?

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes, I would add some type of plant milk. Maybe unsweetened soy since it has a bit more fat than other milks. It will taste different but I'm sure it will still be good!

[@mariegreen2203]

@@Simnettnutrition Thx! I usually use my unsweetened soy for replacing coconut milk for those reasons. Aside from the Sat fat in coconut milk, I have always hated coconut so I like curries in general without the coconut. In them. Love you and Crystal.
