Easy Katsu Chicken Curry With Rice Food

CHICKEN KATSU WITH GINGER RICE

Steps:

• Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; dredge each cutlet in the flour, dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken to a rack set on a baking sheet to drain; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in another large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the bok choy; season with salt and cook, stirring, until the bok choy is wilted, about 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the scallions; season with salt. Serve the chicken with the rice and katsu sauce.

CHICKEN KATSU CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onions to the hot oil and fry until soft and starting to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until potatoes are soft, about 45 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add curry sauce mix; stir well until all pieces are dissolved. If you'd like to add seasonings, add ketchup, Worcestershire, jam, and soy sauce. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or longer if you'd like it thicker.
• While the curry is infusing, flatten the chicken breasts with a kitchen mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Season with salt and pepper. Drench in flour, then egg, and then coat generously with panko bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in a separate saucepan to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Carefully lower breaded cutlets into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
• While the chicken is cooking, stir 1 teaspoon curry powder into the sauce.
• Slice cooked chicken into strips and spoon curry sauce over top.

KATSU CURRY

Steps:

• First, make the curry sauce. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, cook the onions and chopped carrots until the onions are soft and starting to caramelise, about 8 mins. Add the garlic and ginger and sizzle for another 30 secs, then stir in the curry powder and turmeric. Once the spices are warmed through, add the coconut milk, maple syrup or honey and 100ml water. Season well, cover and simmer over a low heat for 20 mins.
• Now make the katsu. In a wide bowl, mix the cornflour with 4 tbsp water and some seasoning. Dip the chicken or tofu into the flour mixture (if cooking for both vegans and meat eaters, make sure you dip the tofu first to avoid mixing it with meat). Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl and dip the chicken or tofu in it, turning until well coated.
• When the onions and carrots in the curry sauce are soft, blitz using a hand or table-top blender. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, check the seasoning, adding more salt, maple syrup or some lime juice, if you like. Keep warm.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken or tofu for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Warm the rice and divide between bowls. Top with the curry sauce, katsu chicken or tofu, and serve with the cucumber, carrot ribbons, herbs and lime wedges.

CHICKEN KATSU CURRY

Steps:

• Combine the radish, rice vinegar, and black pepper in a small bowl and let pickle while preparing the rest of the dish.
• In a large pot, melt the butter, and then add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until slightly garlic is fragrant and vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the water and bring to a boil.
• Add the curry brick and stir until dissolved. Add the apple and then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 20-30 minutes, until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
• Meanwhile, arrange the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate dishes. Heat 1⁄2 inch of vegetable oil in a cast iron pan over medium high heat. Test heat with chop stick - when a chopstick inserted into oil bubbles, it is hot enough. Dredge the chicken cutlets in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb.
• Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt. Keep warm.
• To serve, plate curry over rice and top with a chicken katsu. Garnish with scallions and pickled radish.
