      @TheFoodieTakesFlight  4 года назад +3

      I use S&B curry! It's by far the best I've tried. A box makes around 3-4 servings so I store leftover curry cubes in the freezer. I get them from local Japanese/Asian groceries but they're also avaialble online :) these are the cubes - amzn.to/2qUzwaF

      Hi, yes you can. I don't own an air fryer but I've had a few people share with me that they've air-fried these. You can try cooking these at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes on each side. You can brush them with some oil too before putting them on ◡̈

    Have you tried freezing the tofu prior to pressing? Changes the structure and texture of the tofu.

    is there a reason why you fried the whole tofu instead of cutting it into strips first and then frying the individual strips? Just curious if that makes it better in some way, thanks

      It's simply because it's katsu aesthetic. Even Chicken Katsu use same method.

      yes it does. it removes most of the water from the tofu, so it'll be able to absorb the batter and give it a better taste.
