Get an incredible hit of fibre in one delicious veggie meal
Katsu is most famously made with pork or chicken and is fast becoming one of the nation's favourites. Here we have flipped the whole dish on its head - swapping the meat for mushrooms and aubergine, breading them in our Southern Style Coating and serving with brown rice instead of the usual white. What this gets you is the most incredible tasting katsu that delivers maximum fibre, for minimal carbs.
If you are seriously carb counting, you can serve this in a Lo-Dough wrap instead, which would save 25g of carbs and over 100 calories for the meal.

- 1 large egg beaten, for egg-wash
