Chicken Katsu Ramen Food

KATSU CURRY RAMEN

Steps:

• For the pork broth: Place the pork feet and bones and chicken bones into a large stock pot and cover with cold water. Put on the lid and bring the pot to a boil. After 10 minutes, turn off the burner and strain the bones. Wash the bones under cold water to remove all the scum. Add the cleaned bones back into a clean stock pot, add water and bring to a boil.
• Char the garlic, ginger, leek and onion in a skillet until they are almost burnt. Set aside. Place the bonito flakes, dried anchovy and kombu in a spice pack and securely tie the end. Put the ground mushroom into a separate spice pack and securely tie the end.
• Place the charred vegetables, and both spice packs into the pot with the bones. Bring the pot to a boil and boil for 6 hours. Remove the dried anchovy spice pack from the pot. Boil for another 12 hours, then add the salt, sugar and fish powder. Let the broth simmer on low heat for another 6 hours.
• To create the curry broth, take 64 ounces (2 quarts) of pork broth and add the curry bouillon. Bring to a boil and whisk the broth.
• For the pork katsu: Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F.
• Tenderize the pork loin using the flat end of a meat mallet and season with salt. Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water to create an egg wash. Take the pork loin and dredge it in the flour, then the egg wash, then the bread crumbs. Fry the pork loin until golden brown, for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes before cutting.
• For the ramen bowl: Saute the corn and carrots in a pan with a little oil and set aside. Then saute the cabbage with a little oil.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop the fresh ramen into the boiling water. Cook for 90 seconds, or to your desired firmness, then drain.
• Pour the hot curry broth into 4 bowls and add the cooked ramen. Top with the cabbage and place the fried pork katsu on top. Add the corn and carrot and finish with the chopped green onions.

CHICKEN KATSU

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the flour, egg and panko crumbs into separate shallow dishes. Coat the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them into the egg, and then press into the panko crumbs until well coated on both sides.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the hot oil, and cook 3 or 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

CHICKEN KATSU

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Dip the chicken in the egg, then coat in the cornflakes or crumbs. Space the chicken out on a non-stick baking tray and cook for 15-20 mins or until cooked through.
• Put the remaining ingredients in a pan. Pour in 500ml water and heat, stirring, until boiling and thickened. Cover and leave to simmer for 5 mins.
• Spoon some sauce onto 4 plates, slice the chicken breasts and place on top. Great served with some rice and soya beans with finely sliced red chilli.

CHICKEN KATSU

Steps:

• For the katsu sauce: Stir together the ketchup, Worcestershire and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the chicken: Set a wire rack in a baking sheet or line a large plate with a paper towel and set aside. Place the flour, eggs and panko into 3 separate large shallow bowls. Stir together 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and then sprinkle the mixture on both sides of the cutlets. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dredge it in the flour, dip it into the eggs, and then coat it with the panko, gently pressing both sides into the panko to make sure it adheres well. Transfer the cutlet to a plate and repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until it reaches about 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. (To test for readiness, sprinkle a few pieces of panko into the oil. It should bubble vigorously.)
• Working with 2 cutlets at a time to prevent crowding, cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared wire rack or plate, season with salt and let rest for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat with the remaining 2 cutlets. (See Cook's Note.)
• Slice each cutlet crosswise into 1/2-inch strips, lay on a bed of sliced cabbage and serve with the katsu sauce, rice and a lemon wedge.
