A vegetarian version of tonkatsu that looks just like the real thing. Other than the main ingredient, it's just like making tonkatsu!
Recipe background: When making tonkatsu for my family, I tried using tofu as a substitute for myself as a vegetarian.

3

Fry in medium-hot oil until golden brown, then drain well on paper towels.
4

Serve with shredded cabbage and enjoy with spicy mustard, tonkatsu sauce, soy sauce, or noodle soup base (mentsuyu).
