Ingredients
- 420 grams firm tofu sliced into cubes

Katsu Sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 2 ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ tsp oyster sauce

Instructions
- Slice your tofu into cubes. Pat dry each piece on both sides with paper towel. This is important or your coating will fall off.

- Coat tofu cubes into corn starch, then whisked egg, and lastly panko breadcrumbs. Make sure to coat all sides.
- In a pan set over medium heat, add oil. Allow this to heat up. To test if it’s hot enough, place a wooden chopstick into the oil and if bubbles form then it’s ready for frying.
