Accompanied by a tangy house-made Tonkatsu sauce, this dish offers a satisfying crunch and deep umami flavors that are sure to impress both vegans and non-vegans alike.

Ingredients
- 4 slices of firm tofu or seitan
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Steps:
- Press tofu or seitan to remove excess moisture.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Set up dredging stations: one bowl of flour, one bowl of plant-based milk, and one bowl of mixed panko, nutritional yeast, garlic, and onion powders.
- Dredge each slice first in flour, then dip in milk, and finally coat with panko mixture.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry each piece until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
- Serve hot with the sauce drizzled over or on the side for dipping.
