Chicken Katsu Curry
Chicken Katsu Curry is Japanese home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken breasts
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 onion
- 2 carrots
- 1 russet potato
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 5 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Cook the diced onion, carrots, and potato in 2 tbsp oil until softened, then stir in the curry powder and 3 tbsp flour and cook 1 minute.
- Whisk in the broth, soy sauce, and ketchup and simmer until thickened into a smooth sauce, about 12 minutes.
- Pound the chicken to an even thickness and season with salt.
- Dredge each piece in the remaining flour, then the beaten eggs, then the panko.
- Fry in the remaining hot oil until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, then drain and slice.
- Serve the sliced katsu over rice with the curry sauce poured alongside.
