Main Ingredients

Rice

Vegetables

Sauce

Method

Prepare the Chicken Katsu

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This helps them cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season and Dredge

    Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Set up a dredging station with three plates: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in the breaded chicken breasts. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Cook the Rice

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Prepare the Vegetables

  1. 6

    Chop the Carrots

    Peel and julienne the carrot into thin strips.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Slice the cucumber into thin rounds.

  3. 8

    Prepare the Edamame

    If using frozen edamame, steam or boil them according to package instructions until tender.

Assemble the Bento

  1. 9

    Arrange the Components

    In a bento box, place a portion of cooked rice, fried chicken katsu, julienned carrots, cucumber slices, and edamame.

  2. 10

    Add Sauce

    Drizzle katsu sauce over the chicken or serve it on the side for dipping.
