A vegan katsu curry-style sauce that’s quick and easy to whip up; making it perfect for busy weeknights or a healthy Saturday night fakeaway. Pour it over a breaded meat free chicken burger on a bed of white rice for a super speedy Japanese-inspired meal with just a hint of chilli kick.
The HB and I love to visit Wagamama and Yo Sushi on our days off and one of our favourite dishes is Katsu Curry. I wanted to re-create those flavours at home and have tried, tested and tweaked this recipe to perfection.
This vegan katsu curry sauce is such a great choice for Meat Free Monday – it is so quick and easy to whip up, or even better make a big batch and freeze it in portions ready to reheat and serve hot over your favourite chicken-style burger. Top it with slices of spring onion, red chilli and sesame seeds if you’re feeling fancy!
This katsu curry sauce is:
