INGREDIENTS
1 block extra firm tofu
1/2 cup white flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup oil

INSTRUCTIONS
First, press your tofu (if the tofu isn’t already pre-pressed) for about 30 minutes to an hour. Slice the tofu into three even pieces lengthwise and once in half crosswise. This should leave you with six rectangular pieces.
In three swallow bowls or dishes, add eggs, flour and panko. Add salt and pepper to flour and mix. Whisk eggs together. Dip each tofu slice into the flour, then egg, then panko breadcrumbs. Make sure to get the sides, top and bottom of each slice.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add half the cooking oil. Once hot, add breaded slices of tofu. Fry on each side until golden brown. Add additional oil if needed. Be sure to get the sides, tops and bottoms as well. Alternatively, you can deep fry the pieces of tofu (but I prefer the lighter pay fry method).
Transfer the pieces to a cutting board. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then slice into pieces. Serve with rice and curry or vegetables. Dip in tonkatsu sauce.
