The Story
Tofu has been part of Thai cooking for centuries, arriving through Chinese influence and earning its place as an ingredient prized for taking on flavour and texture. Fried until golden, it becomes something with real contrast - a crisp shell around a soft centre.
Kat's Crispy Tofu is fried fresh once ordered rather than batch-cooked, so the coating stays properly crisp, and it's finished with a homemade sweet sauce built specifically for this dish rather than a generic dip.
It's a starter designed from scratch for vegan and vegetarian diners, not a meat dish adapted afterwards - one of a small number of dishes at Kat's Cuisine built that way from the start, and made fresh in St Albans.
Perfect For
Perfect if you want a chilli-free vegan starter.
A great choice for a golden, crispy starter.
