Katsu Don with Tofu

Katsu Don with Tofu is a delightful twist on the traditional Japanese dish, featuring crispy, golden-brown tofu served over a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice and topped with a savory egg sauce. This low-carb meal is satisfying and packed with flavor, making it a perfect lunch option.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 400 grams
• Cauliflower - 300 grams (riced)
• Eggs - 2 large
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Dashi powder - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks (chopped)
• Cornstarch - 3 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 4 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into thick slices.
2. In a bowl, mix cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Coat the tofu slices in the mixture.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add riced cauliflower and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi powder.
6. In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Gently stir until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set.
7. To serve, place a portion of riced cauliflower on each plate, top with the fried tofu, and drizzle the egg sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions.
