Instructions

Step 1

Begin by getting your block of tofu and slicing it in half lengthways.

Step 2

Grab two bowls. Fill one bowl with your flour, turmeric, cumin powder, salt, and water to make a batter (give it a good mix - it should have a thick batter consistency). Then fill the other one with breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Coat your tofu in the batter, followed by the breadcrumbs and set aside.

Step 4

Get your frying pan and pour in your oil (around 1/2 inch deep). Place it on medium heat.

Step 5

To check if your oil is hot enough, get a wooden chopstick and stick it into the oil so it touches the bottom of the frying pan. If bubbles emerge around the chopstick, the oil is ready!

Step 6

Gently place your tofu into the oil and fry on each side for 6 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the frying pan and set aside on some kitchen towel to soak up any excess oil.

Step 8

Chop up your carrots and place them in a pan of boiling water. Boil for around 10 minutes or until soft. Strain and set aside to cool.

Step 9

In a separate pan, drizzle in some oil. Then add in your chopped onion and garlic. Fry until lightly caramelised and then remove. Keep the pan as we will use it again!

Step 10

Meanwhile, cook your noodles to packet instructions and set aside.

Step 11

In a blender, add in your carrots, onion, garlic, curry powder, turmeric, chilli, soy sauce, stock cube, and water. Give it a good blend until you have a smooth paste.

Step 12

Pour your sauce into your old onion frying pan and place it on medium heat. Add in your cooked noodles and combine thoroughly.

Step 13

Chop your tofu into slices.

Step 14

Place your katsu noodles into your serving bowls and top with tofu, coriander, and chilli. Enjoy!
