Vegan Quorn Katsu Curry with crunchy fillet burgers in a homemade katsu sauce and served on a bed of basmati rice, a quick and healthy dinner recipe that is bursting with amazing flavours. It's a great meatless midweek meal that can be put together with just a handful of ingredients.
After the delicious Sweet and Sour Quorn that was made with Quorn crispy nuggets, I fell in love with these meatless products and decided to experiment with other products too.
On their own, they are fantastic, no doubt about that. But how about we make a meatless version of some classic recipes using these yummy Quorn products? It's so easy to put together, and you can a lovely cooked meal in no time.
I am a big fan of katsu recipes, be it Chicken Katsu Curry or the vegetarian Aubergine Katsu Curry. So a vegan version had to be created too in order to cater for all tastes and lifestyles.
Plus, this vegan katsu curry is a great recipe during Lent, when some people may choose to go meatless. And what a dish this is!

Expert tips
You can leave the sauce chunky if you wish - or don't have a blender. The sauce is still delicious, it just has a different texture. I do prefer the smooth sauce, but that's personal preference.
The recipe can work very well for the any other Quorn product like crispy nuggets, Quorn chicken pieces or chicken fillets.
You can swap basmati rice for couscous, orzo, any pasta, or even mashed potatoes or baked fries.
