Shut the front door + all the windows for this CRISPY Tofu Katsu Burger Recipe!

LEARN HOW TO MAKE AN EASY TOFU KATSU BURGER RECIPE AT HOME!
LAY HO MA! This burger is going to be your new BFF - it's crispy, crunchy, and with an Asian style slaw that will blow your mind! Join me in this episode and learn how to make a delicious panko crusted tofu katsu burger with a spicy mayo slaw. Let's begin
Ingredients:
140g extra firm tofu
40g purple cabbage
20g carrot
1/2 apple (fuji)
1/2 stick green onion
2 tbsp mayo ( • THICK vegan Mayo Recip... )
pinch of salt
tbsp sriracha
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
splash of water
1/2 cup panko
2 burger buns
1 cup avocado oil
5g leafy greens
1 tsp white sesame seeds
Directions:
1. Slice the extra firm tofu block into thick patties
2. Thinly slice the purple cabbage. Slice the carrot and apple into thin matchsticks. Finely chop the green onion
3. Place the veggies into a bowl and mix together with the mayo, a pinch of salt, and sriracha. Set the slaw aside
4. Add the flour, soy sauce, and water to a small bowl. Whisk until it becomes a fairly thick consistency
5. Pour the panko into another small bowl
6. Dunk the tofu into the sticky flour mixture. Then, transfer the tofu to the panko and coat
7. Slice the burger buns in half and toast them in a dry frying pan on medium heat for about 1min on each side. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack
8. Add the avocado oil into the frying pan. Let the oil heat up for a few minutes. Stick in a bamboo chopstick - the oil is ready when there are fast moving bubbles
9. Carefully place in and fry the breaded tofu for about 2-3min on each side. Rest the tofu on a plate lined with paper towel
10. Assemble the burger by placing some leafy greens on the bottom bun. Then, add the tofu katsu followed by a generous scoop of the crunchy slaw. Sprinkle with some toasted sesame seeds and serve

Your channel is just beautiful man!!!

[@exploringflavors3920]

What brand of tofu did you use?

[@mpt786]

Thank you so very for your channel....my cancer cell count is going down because of your channel & recipes! I'm grateful for you because I can use your recipes for Tempeh & TVP as well. Your cookbooks are #1 on my priority list when I get home!!!!💗🙏

[@hakunamatata1352]

Hi - Can you help? I need a gluten free version. I can handle replacing bread and panko, but what to use for the sticky sauce?

[@LogansRun314]

Tried this out for dinner and my gf couldn't stop telling me how good this was. It was so good, I decided to come back to your video just to tell you how good it was... I never do that!

[@main2333]

I want to make it now! 😋 All I need is sesame seeds!

[@joeb4142]

[@debk9984]

I just made this tonight and I was very surprised how delicious it is! I'm 60 and became a vegetarian last year! I know it's not vegan but I'm very happy I made the switch. I even built myself 3 raised beds and started a garden which is great. I've made 2 of your Ramen dishes and they too were delicious. I'm very thankful for you and all you do! My daughters already know what I want for Christmas (your cookbooks) so I seriously can't wait!

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

🥳🙌🏻👨🏻‍🍳

[@Seinneann]

I am seriously appreciating all of the extra tips you offer around technique. It makes such a huge difference in how your recipes turn out when I'm trying them. You are now influencing about 70% of the meals I'm cooking. (I think this means it's time to buy your books now!) But seriously, thank you for how much you've improved the quality and taste of what happens in my kitchen!

[@theashleyspecial]

I’ve made a few of your recipes and I love sophisticated each one is but also easy to follow. I also admire how genuine you are about your craft and not pretentious like some Chefs.

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

[@barbara-holley]

[@forsaken7161]

Tbh his recipes taste bland. Yeah let me fry that shitty Tofu and pretend it's some sort of katsu replacement lol

There’s something about your videos they give me so much peace and clarity, Thank you for your beautiful soul

[@blupatches3030]

“Have a healthy sense of pride.” Wil is serving us some life lessons throughout this video definitely. Cooking is a process of indefinite learning, as he shows us in every video he releases. But this time Wil is more verbally expressive. It's a nice feeling to follow through.

[@sunrae7680]

Yes, I've noticed too. Loving it !!

[@3PairDesigns]

Aside from the fact that every single one of your recipes I have tried is so phenomenal and that even I can make them taste good, one of the other reasons I love, love, love your channel is because it is like watching a short movie, lol! The videography, your own presentation, the beautiful music, everything is so well organized. It is always a treat! I loved that you gave some awesome knife skill tips too, that is great! Thank you Wil, for sharing your passion! 😊👍💖

[@amindriudugala4361]

I made this today for my family and we just finished our dinner. It was a beautiful combination. Even my meat lover 5 yr old munched down the tofu patty. We are transitioning into veganism and your channel has made it easy. We tried and loved the Cauliflower fried rice, Poke bowl, and fresh summer roles. All the dressing were amazing flavourful bombs 💥 My next goal is to make the chilli oil and try out the ramen. Thanks so much for the inspiration 😊

[@BlackangelKatakuri]

Could be just because it tastes good

[@kentigar]

I love your puns so much: "bun in a million" lol. Dad jokes always make things better :)

[@Chimiqüi-d5h]

I did his tofu Katsu fingers and they r to die for😂😂 highly addictive 😅 I put cayenne on the panko

[@kellyjohnson3617]

That looks simple snd delicious. Love the idea of the slaw. And the arugula greens would be a great addition too.

[@Cat-wl2ub]

So delicious! Just made these burgers for dinner. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Yeung Man Cooking is now my favorite cooking channel.

[@janmarie1974]

This is very good!! I have a couple suggestions for anyone who might try the recipe: 1. I cut a block of tofu into four pieces as shown in video. Doing it that way, the half cup of flour mixture was WAY too much batter for four slices of tofu. Next time I might try cutting the block of tofu into smaller pieces which would create more surface area and might use up more the batter, OR starting with a 1/4 cup of flour. (Because I did like the fat tofu pieces!) It did require more than a splash of water for me, even for a thick batter, I also cooked mine in the air fryer for a bit of a healthier sandwich and it worked great. I might also experiment with some chili oil and other flavorings to kick up the flavor in the batter. But all that said -this is a delicious recipe, and super easy so I know I'll be making it again. Love your channel Yeung Man Cooking!

[@Crystl22]

I am so glad to have found your channel! I have had to make huge changes to my eating habits & am trying to go mostly plant based & meat free. Being a Wisconsin cheese head, giving up the dairy has been hard but I am so grateful for almond milk & plant based butter. You are really helping me so much. I love crunchy. crispy meats so I love some of the recipes you have & am looking forward to more. My daughter has heart failure & lives off all the wrong foods like I did. Hoping I can get her to try some of your recipes & off all the junk. Thank you for sharing I wish I would have found this yrs ago.!
