Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Plant-based chicken cutlets
- 60 grams Plain flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Egg replacer
- 60 milliliters Water
- 150 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 250 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 120 milliliters Tonkatsu sauce
- 200 grams Shredded cabbage
- 600 grams Cooked white rice
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the plain flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, prepare the egg replacer by combining it with the water, and whisk until smooth.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Dredge each plant-based chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat.
Dip the flour-coated cutlet into the egg replacer mixture, letting any excess drip off.
Press the cutlet into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring it is thoroughly coated on all sides. Repeat the process for all cutlets.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Carefully add the breaded cutlets to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
To serve, arrange the cutlets on a plate with a serving of shredded cabbage and cooked white rice.
Drizzle the katsu cutlets with tonkatsu sauce, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your homemade Vegetarian Katsu Chicken!
