Japanese Curry with Chicken Katsu

Posted

Notable ingredients
Japanese curry mix (I use ‘hot’, Golden Curry brand)
1 potato
1 medium (15cm/5.9in) carrot (err on longer side)
Rice ingredients
Thinly sliced chicken breast
Panko breadcrumbs

Do things in the following order, to time it right:

  1. Chop veggies - cut the potatoes a little bigger than aloo choley, and the carrots in classic rounds (they were a little thick last time)
  2. Make curry according to curry box instructions
  3. While veggies are simmering in water, make rice in instant pot, because I only have 1 pot :(
  4. Prep various breading dishes: plate with breadcrumbs, plate with flour, wide bowl with 1 beaten egg, gather seasonings
  5. Bread the chicken
    • Season each side with salt, pepper, onion powder
    • Cover each side with flour (don’t miss any spots!)
    • Dip each side in egg (don’t miss any spots!)
    • Cover each side in panko
  6. Fry the chicken. I just pan-fried on each side rather than deep frying and it worked well. Used a metal pan. Didn’t need to let the oil heat that long.
