Instructions to make Tofu Katsu Curry:
    1. Finely chop all the vegetables. Heat vegetable oil in a large sauce pan with medium-high heat and sauté, onion, garlic, grated ginger and carrots for about 7-8 minutes. Add courgettes and curry powder and then keep stirring for about 2 minutes taking care not burning. Then add sake and cook for about 1 minute to evaporate alcohol.
    1. Add water into the pan with vegetables and bring back to a boil then turn down the heat to medium-low and add curry roux mix by breaking them up. Stir it well until all the roux dissolved. Once all the roux block has dissolved, add grated apple and simmer for about 15-20 minutes by stirring from time to time.
    1. While cooking curry sauce, prepare tofu katsu. Cut tofu into 1cm thick rectangular cakes. Wrap each tofu cakes with kitchen paper and press to soak up excess moisture. Dust each tofu cakes with seasoned flour and then dip with whisked egg then coat with panko crumbs making sure all the surface are covered with panko crumbs completely.
    1. Heat oil in a deep-frying pan or a wok to 170C and then slide tofu cakes into the pan to deep fry then until golden colour. This should be about 2-3 minutes. Take them out onto layers of kitchen papers.
    1. Place the cooked rice and tofu katsu cakes on top of rice in large bowls or pasta plates. Pour the curry sauce sideways over a third of tofu katsu, so that two-thirds is dry, and one-third is covered with sauce. Place the fukushin-zuke or any pickled vegetables on the side.
