Tofoo Katsu has been announced by UK-based The Tofoo Co as a new product that offers a plant-based take on traditional katsu chicken or pork dishes. The product features two fillets of tofu covered in a katsu-style breadcrumb to give them the taste and texture of tonkatsu dishes without the associated meat. The product is high in protein and is convenient enough to be used in a variety of dishes, which also makes it great for midweek meal preparation.
Tofoo Katsu is arriving at select Sainsbury's locations this month and comes as part of the brand's continued commitment to offering new products with a tofu base that works well for consumers seeking out more plant-based fare.
