Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a separate pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes, and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the minced garlic and curry powder to the pot, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, honey, and ketchup. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Slice the fried chicken katsu into strips and serve over cooked white rice. Ladle the curry sauce over the chicken and rice, and enjoy!
Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry is a beloved dish that combines the crispy goodness of chicken katsu with the comforting warmth of Japanese curry. Originating in Japan, this dish has become a staple in Japanese cuisine and is loved by people all over the world. The crispy chicken cutlet, known as katsu, is coated in panko breadcrumbs and fried to perfection, then served with a rich and savory curry sauce. The dish is said to have been inspired by British curry, introduced to Japan during the Meiji era. Today, it can be found in restaurants across Japan, with variations in different regions. One famous spot for this dish is in the Akihabara district of Tokyo, where chefs meticulously prepare the katsu and curry to create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The key to a perfect Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry lies in the balance of the crispy katsu and the flavorful curry sauce. The katsu should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, while the curry should be rich, aromatic, and slightly sweet. It's important to get the seasoning of the curry just right, as it often contains a blend of spices, vegetables, and sometimes even fruits to achieve its unique flavor profile. While the traditional recipe calls for chicken, there are also variations with pork or even seafood katsu. For those looking to try a different take on this classic dish, there are also vegetarian and vegan versions available, using ingredients like tofu or vegetables as a katsu substitute. Whether enjoyed in a bustling restaurant in Tokyo or homemade with a personal touch, Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry is a delightful fusion of flavors that continues to captivate food enthusiasts worldwide.
