Method

Prepare the Katsu

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Coat Chicken

    Dredge each seasoned chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Curry Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pan used for frying chicken, remove excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until softened and fragrant.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add diced carrot and potato to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 6

    Add Curry Powder

    Stir in curry powder and cook for 1 minute to release its flavors.

  4. 7

    Simmer Sauce

    Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Serve the Dish

  1. 8

    Plate the Katsu

    Slice the fried chicken katsu into strips and place on a plate.

  2. 9

    Add Rice and Sauce

    Serve with a portion of cooked rice and ladle the curry sauce over the chicken. Garnish with chopped green onions and pickled ginger.
