Cooking Steps

1

• Thinly slice spring onion. • Grate carrot.

2

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat base over medium-high heat. • Cook plant-based crumbed chicken until golden and heated through, 2-3 minutes on each side. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

3

• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk together Japanese curry paste, the boiling water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) and brown sugar, until smooth. Add the butter and microwave until melted and combined, 30 seconds.

4

• In a large bowl, combine carrot, shredded cabbage mix and a drizzle of vinegar. • Season to taste.

5

• Microwave mini flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate in 10 second bursts until warmed through.

6

• Roughly chop plant-based chicken. • Fill tacos with creamy slaw and Japanese plant-based crumbed chick'n. • Spoon over katsu sauce. Top with spring onion to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The katsu sauce and plant-based chicken were well received, with the overall dish described as tasty.
  • Ease of prep: Straightforward to put together, though the plant-based chicken can be tricky to keep intact when slicing.
  • Suggestions: Handle the plant-based chicken gently when chopping to help it hold together better in the tacos.
  • Portions: The cabbage slaw may not appeal to all family members, so consider swapping in a milder vegetable for picky eaters.
